Construction on a railroad to connect Andover to Wilmington began in 1835. As soon as construction was started, the decision was made to extend the railroad to Haverhill. The railroad was connected to the Lowell Boston line. The legislature of New Hampshire extended the road to the Maine border under the name of the Boston & Maine Railroad.

People used the railroad for day trips from Boston in the summer.

Gardens and trees were planted on the Boston & Maine grounds in 1902.
