History
The depot opened in 1906 on a site that was noted in local history. In 1873, a crowd of local residents gathered to protest the forced relocation of a Ho-Chunk family.
Beginning in 1936, the railway line that the depot serviced was the route for the famed Twin Cities 400.[2] Railway operations ceased at the depot in 1963. Currently, it houses the Reedsburg Chamber of Commerce and the headquarters for the 400 Trail. The railway line, however, remains in use by Wisconsin and Southern Railroad.
The depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.[3]
