Millis functioned as a railroad stop in Millis, Massachusetts, operating on the Millis Branch (previously known as the West Medway Branch) since its establishment in 1886.
History
In April 1966, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) reached an agreement with the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, which owned the West Medway Branch, to provide financial support for service on this line and others within its funding area starting April 24. Because Medway, located outside the funding district, chose not to contribute to ongoing service costs for its stations, the branch line was shortened to terminate at Millis. Consequently, Millis became the final stop and the route was renamed the Millis Branch.
Within a year, on April 21, 1967, both the Millis and Dedham branches were discontinued due to insufficient passenger numbers. By that time, the station had already been serving as the town hall for several years. Today, Millis station stands as one of only two remaining stations from the Millis Branch (along with ), now designated as the Lansing Millis Memorial Railroad Station and included within the Millis Center Historic District.
