Built in 1900/1901, the McAdam Station and Hotel is truly a
piece of New Brunswick's history. Unfortunately, but for
the people of McAdam itself and a small number of
supporters, it also seems to be a
forgotten piece
of New Brunswick history. Despite the best efforts of the
residents of McAdam (some 1500 strong), the classic
building is empty and falling into disrepair. I won't try
to give a complete history of the station here but, suffice
it to say, it is well worth saving.
My sister, Lynn, fell in love with
the McAdam Station and Hotel during a visit to New
Brunswick this summer. She's a determined person, my
sister, and she's got a lot of ideas as to how she
might be able to help with the restoration of this
historic building.
