The Village of Rouses Point and the Rouses Point-Champlain Historical Society restored the historic 1889 Romanesque brick and stone train station building (the former D & H Railroad Station). The Village of Rouses Point purchased the former D & H Railroad Station from the Delaware and Hudson Railway in 2002 for $5,000.
