Geocache Description:


Before the railroad came to Coleman Station in 1851, farm goods were taken by oxen to the Hudson River and shipped south to New York City by barge. Amasa D. Coleman successfully petitioned the New York & Harlem Railroad for a depot stop, thus the name Coleman Station. Once the stop was established, local goods were shipped to New York City by rail, traveling faster and arriving fresher than ever before. By 1911, Coleman Station had its own commercial dairy, Sheffield Farms. Sheffield Farms was one of the model commercial farms in Dutchess County and one of the largest suppliers of milk to New York City. On the east side of the Coleman Station parking lot, some remnants of the foundation from a large Sheffield Farms milk bottling plant can be seen.
