The Wareham Redevelopment Authority is considering the potential of the old train station on Merchant’s Way. The station, which has sat unused for decades, could soon become a destination for residents and visitors to Wareham.

The Authority is considering a number of possible uses for the station. It could be a live music venue, a spot for food trucks to park, or a place for people to bring takeout from area restaurants and eat with a view of the Wareham River.

Changes to the station could include the addition of tables and chairs, roll-down doors to enclose the open area, and a speaker system.

Town Planner Ken Buckland suggested that people could “take out food from one of the restaurants and go sit down and enjoy the ambiance of the waterfront.”
