The Forestville Passenger Station is a historic railroad station at 171 Central Street in Forestville, a village of Bristol, Connecticut. It is a small single-story wood frame structure, with a bracketed cornice and a hipped roof topped by a louvered cupola with finial. The station was built in 1881 by the New York and New England Railroad on a railroad line originally owned by the Hartford, Providence and Fishkill Railroad. It was a key element of the prosperity of the village, benefiting from many daily passenger rail stops. Service to the area ended in 1960.[2]
The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 19, 1978.[1]
