Frenchville
Frenchville is a town in Aroostook County, incorporated on February 23, 1869 under the name Dickeyville. The name was change to Frenchville on January 26, 1871 in recognition of the French-Acadian population of the town.
Its northern border is with Canada along a great bend in the St. John River.
The Frenchville Historical Society's Caboose was originally built by the Pullman Company in December 1943 as a Troop Sleeper Car. The The Green Water Tank as it is affectionately called, was built in 1910 by the B & A Railroad and has a capacity of 50,000 gallons. In its early days, trains carrying wood products, and even providing passenger service, would stop at the tank for a fill her up pit stop. Also built in 1910, the Station House stands next to the tower.
