The station is a replica of a former Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (Milwaukee Road) depot,[2] and is in close proximity to a tourist railroad called the Riverside and Great Northern Railway.

The previous station on this site was damaged by a Soo Line Railroad freight train derailing in 1982 (although the depot belonged to the Milwaukee Road then; the Soo Line did not merge with the Milwaukee until 1986.)

A nonprofit group was created in the town in order to raise funds for the current station building.

In 2021, Amtrak proposed additional rail connections to Madison and Eau Claire by 2035.
