Location

The Kendalls Depot is a historic railroad station located on North Railroad Street in Kendall, Wisconsin. The station was built in 1900 for the Chicago & Northwestern Railway. It used the railroad's standard "Number Two" design and was given a camelback roof and ornamental stickwork to distinguish it. The line was abandoned in 1964 and the former railbed was converted into the nation's first rail trail, opening in 1967. Today, the depot serves as a trailhead for the Elroy-Sparta State Trail and houses a railroad history museum.

The depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.
