The old train station was built in the late 1800s for the Central Railroad of New Jersey. Today, it serves as a hub for the Califon Historical Society and access point for the Columbia Rail Trail. Supposedly, the name Califon comes from a shortening of "California", since the painter creating the station map didn't leave enough room for the original title.

You can reserve alpaca visits on the weekends. They also offer private events. You can even do yoga with alpacas, if you are so inclined. See if you can spot any of the animals as you ride by!
