Reedsburg Depot - Historic Sites Registry - Arts, Humanities, and Historic Preservation - Departments

Built in 1905, this red brick building replaced one of frame construction. The north entry features a Classical Revival portico with heavy fluted columns that have an entablature stretching above.

The Chicago and Northwestern railroad line reached Reedsburg in 1872. Passenger service was a wonderful convenience for many until 1953. After that the building was used for storage only and fell into a state of disrepair.

Restored and currently used as the Chamber of Commerce office, it is an excellent example of adaptive re-use. The historical episode when local citizens rallied at this station to protest the removal of the Winnebago Indians and prevented their deportation can be seen in the video "Thunder in the Dells".
