Stone Haven was a railroad station on the Dedham Branch spur, connecting Dedham station to the main Boston-Providence line at Readville. The station was located on Mount Vernon Street in Dedham, next to the home of Col. Eliphalet Stone, and was named for him.[1] Stone donated the building for the waiting room.[1]

Coal was delivered to this station to then be transported to the mills along the nearby Mother Brook.[2]

The station closed on April 21, 1967.[3]
