The Chaplin Station (also called Clark's Corners) is now on the grounds of the Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum. It was moved from Chaplin to the grounds of the museum in Willimantic in 1991. This is the original station was built in the 1870s. From the museum's web site: Elmer Claslin Jewett held his first position as Station Agent and Telegrapher in this little old depot in 1896. It then stood by the double railroad tracks to the left of the bridge here at Clarks Corner and below the old store and post office. The building was saved by the original Station Agent and moved to his residence by a team of horses.
