Orfordville Depot
The Orfordville Depot is located in Orfordville, Wisconsin.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The depot was completed in 1886, replacing a former depot that was destroyed by fire. The station was built by the Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad, which was purchased by the Milwaukee and St Paul Railroad, to form the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railroad (Milwaukee Road). The depot was considered to be a "de facto community center" and served both freight and passengers until 1976. The right-of-way was purchased by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation after the Milwaukee Road entered bankruptcy.[1] The line is currently leased to the Wisconsin and Southern Railroad.[3]
