Historic Train Depot
Railroad development in central
Trempealeau County began in 1866 with the
charger for the Green Bay and Lake Pepin
Railroad Company. Laying of track
began the fall of 1871 in Green Bay and
small settlements along the proposed route
completed vigorously for the right of way.
Construction continued for the next two
years and by September of 1873 tracks were
laid through the wheat field that was to
become Whitehall. The first regular
passenger service between Green Bay and
Whitehall began on January 1, 1874.
 The current 1914 depot replaced an
earlier wood frame depot built in 1877.
The new brick depot, constructed by the
Green Bay and Western Railroad, included
design elements typical of train depots in
the early 20th century, including a
central counter, men's and women's waiting
rooms and a sheltering overhang.
The depot was certified and placed on
the State and National Register of
Historic Places April 19, 2006.
Recognition was due in part to its
significance in the history of Whitehall,
Trempealeau County and the Green Bay and
Western Railroad and because it is a well
preserved example of an early 20th century
brick railroad depot.
The overall condition of the depot
building is excellent and the exterior is
essentially unaltered. The City of
Whitehall purchased the depot in 2003 and
is working towards complete renovation of
the site. Once completed, projected
uses may include:
- Visitor/Information Center
- Virtual Museum and Historical
Displays
- Bicycle Tour (start/stop/rest areas)
- Motorcoach and Audio Tours
- Meeting Facilities
If you would like more information
regarding this depot, please contact the City
of Whitehall. |
