Historic Places
Backwards Tunnel (aka The Ogdensburg Railroad Arch)
Cork Hill Rd
Ogdensburg, NJ 07439
The tunnel was built in 1871 by the Midland Railway Line
in order to cross the Wallkill Valley. New York,
Susquehanna and Western Railway took over control of the
tunnel in 1881 when the Midland Railway Line was merged
into it. The tunnel was first referenced as the Backwards
Tunnel in 1976 because it was thought that the tunnel should
have been wider over the road than over the river.
Ogdensburg declared the tunnel a borough historic site
in 1991. A flood in 2000 which caused two nearby dams
to burst damaged the tunnel.

Built in 1910 as Ogdensburg's fifth public school,
it was adapted for re-use in 1930 as the Borough's
first firehouse. In 1989, with the aid of two
state grants, the Ogdensburg Historical Society
adapted it for re-use and dedicated it as the Old
Schoolhouse and Firehouse Museum.
After 97 years, the Museum continues to
serve the Borough of Ogdensburg as an
historical learning and preservation center,
and as a meeting hall. On June 10, 2006 it was
dedicated as an Ogdensburg Historic Site.
