Some of the only remnants of our little town's railroad history. "In late 1869 or early 1870, the town of Pearson came into existence. The construction of the B & A Railroad and the need of stations and intervals suggested to Hon. Benajah Pearson, the owner of the land and who had donated to the railroad a right of way through it, that it would be a convenient point for a station; so he made concessions to the railroad authorities and an agreement was reached to make it a regular station."
