Historic CPR Rail Station
The building is the renovated CPR rail station that was built in 1947. The station has been awarded historical designation by the Ontario Heritage Trust. The original features of the building have been retained including the birch paneling, tile floors, ticket wicket, and telephone booth.  The original station was built in the 1870s by the Toronto Grey and Bruce Railway and by 1883 the Canadian Pacific Railway took over and established a steamship service connecting Port Arthur (now Thunder Bay) to Owen Sound. It’s rival, CN was built directly across the harbour and this building remains intact today and preserves the history of the Port of Owen Sound in the Waterfront Marine & Rail Museum

Locally Owned Brewery & Restaurant
Mudtown Station Brewery and Restaurant offers a fun meeting place in the east harbour of Owen Sound that celebrates both the history of the city and the talents of our present-day residents. Food produced locally paired with the best our area has to offer in craft beer sets the stage for a great time. Once a gritty area of Owen Sound, Mudtown was known for its speakeasies in the long dry years of our city. It seemed only appropriate to rename the old CPR station and once again start brewing.  In partnership with the City of Owen Sound, the owner of the building, Mudtown Station is proud to preserve the stations unique architecture while repurposing the building to contribute to a growing and vibrant downtown.
