The Village of Kingston

The village of Kingston was settled in Tuscola County about 1857 and became an incorporated village in 1893. The town was located on the Pontiac, Oxford & Northern (later GTW) railroad about three miles south of Wilmot and seven miles north of Clifford. This railroad depot was completed in 1883. It was later abandoned and the depot was stored in a barn nearby. It was discovered in 1993 where it was then brought back to life and rebuilt and placed in Memory park.

Kingston has a special place in my heart as my father owns a house in Kingston. After my grandfather passed, he sold his other house in Houghton Lake and he used that money to purchase a place to hunt and relax in Kingston. He loves this small village and in turn, I do too.
