Do you know of Asylum Station ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Asylum 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 Asylum Station.<1>

Our sources for Asylum 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 Asylum Station other than they indicate that Asylum Station would be found somewhere in Essex County, Massachusetts.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1878 and closed  in 1899.
