Construction on a railroad to connect Andover to Wilmington began in 1835: the line was opened on August 8, 1836. In 1834 Haverhill requested and obtained authority to extend the line to Central Village in Haverill. The legislature of New Hampshire extended the road through the 1840's to the Maine border under the name of the Boston & Maine Railroad. The line was connected to Boston in 1846.
People used the railroad for day trips from Boston in the summer.
Gardens and trees were planted on the Boston & Maine grounds in 1902.
