It is a National Historic Site of Canada located in Rothesay, New Brunswick.

[1] The building offers an example of the standard station design of its era with its wooden two storey configuration.

The Rothesay Station was erected during construction of the European and North American Railway which connected Saint John to Shediac, New Brunswick (Pointe-du-Chêne) and was completed in August 1860.

In 1976, the Rothesay Area Heritage Trust was formed to acquire and preserve the structure and continues to manage it today.

The tracks are still in use, as Canadian National Railways operate them as a secondary mainline.
