The Eagle River Historical Society rents the depot from the city for one o
f two museums. In 2006/2007 the Rotary Club renovated the depot using
state grants that required the city to lease to a non profit. The de
pot was built in 1922 by the Chicago Northwestern Railway. On Thursday,

Hi,
In Barron, WI, a family bought the depot and turned it into a bakery/restau
rant a couple of years ago. It’s very cute and very popular,
even though it is a little out of the way. They call it the Blueberry
Line Coffee House, because that was what some on the train lines around he
re were called. People would ride the trains “up north
, get off and pick blueberries, and get back on to head for home.
The phone number is 715.637.8000.
In Spooner, there is a train museum in on old depot. It’s the
Railroad Memories Museum. https://www.washburncounty.org/services/ra

Stone Lake Historical Society has a depot as part of their museum. https://
