I forgot about the Rice Lake Depot; it now houses TM Roofing.

The Eagle River Historical Society rents the depot from the city for one
of 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 depot
was built in 1922 by the Chicago Northwestern Railway.

Hi,
In Barron, WI, a family bought the depot and turned it into a
bakery/restaurant 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 here 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.

Hi all,
Does anyone know of any train depot rehab projects? If so, can you tell
me where, approximately when, current use and owner? (or as much as you
can)
Thanks,
