===Lincoln Train Depot===
The Lincoln Train Depot, originally called the "West Harrisville Depot", was built in 1886 by the Detroit, Bay City and Alpena Railroad, a predecessor to the [[Detroit and Mackinac Railway]]. It is the last remaining depot of its type in northeastern Michigan and is a standing reminder of Michigan's former dependence on the railroads. It is located on Lake Street at Fisk Street in downtown Lincoln and served the community and the surrounding area until 1929. Rail service passed through Lincoln from the south and north through [[Ossineke, Michigan|Ossineke]] to [[Alpena, Michigan|Alpena]]. It is now owned by the Lincoln downtown Development Authority. In December 1998, the Lincoln Depot was officially recognized as a [[Michigan Historic Site]].<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20100315141338/http://www.michmarkers.com/Frameset.htm Listing of Depot as Historic site]}}.</ref>  Hours are from 1–4 pm Monday through Friday The Train Depot is the locale of '''Depot Days''', a fund raising event sponsored by the Alcona Historical Society.<ref>[http://www.theenchantedforest.com/AlconaHistoricalSociety/ Alcona Historical Society.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927213719/http://www.theenchantedforest.com/AlconaHistoricalSociety/ |date=September 27, 2007 }}</ref>  The display includes a restored [[caboose]]<ref>[https://archive.today/20120721192625/http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RRcaboose/message/8876 Michigan Caboose RR.]</ref> and a [[switching engine]] from the D&M Railway.<ref>[http://www.us23heritageroute.org/presque_isle.asp?ait=av&aid=9 U.S.23 Heritage Route.]</ref>
