Hersey is a below-grade MBTA Commuter Rail station in the Bird's Hill section of Needham, Massachusetts. The station is located on the MBTA's Needham Line.
Originally built by the Boston and Providence Railroad and named Bird's Hill, the station was renamed on March 21, 1980 to honor Needham selectman Henry D. Hersey, "an outstanding spokesman for commuter rail service in the commonwealth".[1] In addition to this station, the MBTA also honored Hersey by naming locomotive MBTA 1000 Henry D. Hersey "Mr. Commuter Rail".[2]
