Maple GO Station is a train and bus station on GO Transit's Barrie Line. It is Ontario's oldest operating railway station, with passenger service dating back to 1853.
Maple Station opened on May 16, 1853, when the service began on the Ontario, Simcoe and Huron Railroad between Toronto and Machell's Corners (now Aurora). At the time, the station was named "Richmond Hill", despite being 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) west of that community. A coach service was run between Richmond Hill and Maple to connect with the namesake town. Train service was extended to Barrie later in 1853, and to Collingwood in 1855.
The current station building was constructed in 1903 by the Grand Trunk Railway to replace the original Ontario, Simcoe and Huron building, which had burned down. It was named Maple after completion. The Queen Anne style timber frame structure is clad in wood using stick style patterns, and features large gables in its roofline. It is federally protected by the Hertitage Railway Stations Protection Act. The building is also protected under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act, part of the Maple Heritage Conservation District.
