Wisconsin - Brodhead Historical Society

Brodhead, WI - Founded in 1975, the Brodhead Historical Society operates its museum in the former Milwaukee Road depot in downtown Brodhead. The museum is open to the public at no charge, May through September, on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, or by appointment for group tours.

The Brodhead Historical Society's museum is housed in the restored Milwaukee Road depot, built in 1881. The depot is on the former Mineral Point branch of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad, or The Milwaukee Road. Donated to the city of Brodhead in 1978, the depot was leased to the Brodhead Historical Society in October, 1979, who restored it in the following years.

Our mission is to protect, preserve and promote the history of Brodhead; to operate our historic Depot Museum; to show Brodhead's rich past through annual displays and permanent displays in the depot; and to add to our collection of artifacts from Brodhead's past.
