Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad Depot

In 1879, train traffic in Hartland was increasing, and a one-story gabled brick, utilitarian structure was built to accomodate the increasing number of passengers. Built on a stone founation, the depot incorporated an agent’s quarters, waiting room and freight area. There is a bulls-eye window in each gable end and a bay ticket window on the south facade. In 1899, this building was moved back from the road six hundred feet to its current location and a new larger depot was built on the original site. The older depot was then used solely for freight until 1982, when it was purchased by the Hartland Historical Society.

If you have any historic pictures (preferably pre-WWII) that you would like to share with the Hartland Historical Society,

	This depot still stands today.
