Stuyvesant Railroad Station
Stuyvesant station, also known as Stuyvesant Landing Depot, is a historic train station located in Stuyvesant, Columbia County, New York. It was built during the second half of 1880 after the original station was destroyed by a fire. Mull & Fromer, Masons and Builders, of Catskill, New York, secured the contract to rebuild the station and E. Lampman was their carpenter.

The station is a five bay brick building, 50 feet long and 20 feet wide, with a hipped roof. It features a molded and ornamented cornice and curved canopy. It was used along New York Central Railroad's Water Level Route and ceased to be used as a station in 1958. A single Hudson–Albany commuter round trip continued to stop until the mid-1960s.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as Stuyvesant Railroad Station. A local farmers market is held at the station.
