Do you know of Williamstown Station ???

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