An active preservation group which collects and preserves artifacts and stories of the area. The Cochecton Preservation Society is also responsible for disassembling the oldest train station in New York State which has been rebuilt on Route 97.

The Cochecton Erie Railroad Station is a one-story Greek revival station built around 1850, at the time railroad pioneers were building the first major trunk lines. The building was located on the property of Cochecton Mills, Cochecton, N.Y., until 1993, when a group of interested residents, hearing that the station was about to be demolished, formed the Cochecton Preservation Society for the major purpose of saving the station.

This is the oldest RR Station left in NYS (listed on National Historic Registry)
