All Aboard! Join Us for the Opening of Brattleboro's New Amtrak Station Platform
The Town of Brattleboro invites the community to celebrate the opening of the community's new accessible Amtrak station platform on Tuesday, June 24, 2026.
This exciting event marks the completion of a major infrastructure project that will improve accessibility and enhance rail travel for passengers using Amtrak's Vermonter line.
The celebration will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the station, located at 10 Vernon Street. The event will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony with local and state officials, representatives from Amtrak, and project partners. Attendees will also be among the first to see the unveiling of a new Brattleboro Words Trail mural created by local artist Cynthia Houghton.
In addition to the ceremony, guests can enjoy food from 802 Soul Kitchen, family-friendly activities, and an opportunity to explore the newly completed station platform.
At approximately 1 p.m., the first train is scheduled to arrive at the new platform. Let's get together and welcome it!
The celebration continues downtown at 2 p.m. at the Museum of Things Tiny & Found, located at 139 Main Street, where visitors can enjoy a model train display and a miniature ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Please note that parking at the Depot Street Lot will be limited during the event. Attendees are encouraged to use the Transportation Center or the High Grove Lot, both of which offer 10-hour parking and convenient access to downtown.
This project represents an important investment in the future of Brattleboro!
