Do you know of Blackburn Station ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Blackburn Station. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Blackburn Station.<1>

Our sources for Blackburn Station (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Blackburn Station other than they indicate that Blackburn Station would be found somewhere in Pike County, Indiana.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1885 and closed  in 1894.
