In the spring of 2020, The Village of Waunakee (with the help of many contributors) unveiled 4 historical Kiosks. Each kiosk depicts a different development of village life – early settlement, agriculture, the role of the military and contributions of veterans, and commerce and transportation. 3 of the 4 kiosks are located on the walking path behind the Waunakee Public Library, and one is located at the Waunakee Area Chamber of Commerce.
Find this cache, and you'll be taken to the Waunakee Area Chamber of Commerce. In 1871 the first depot was built and soon became the focus of a thriving agricultural economy. Farm products such as livestock, cream, tobacco and grains were shipped from the depot. At one time 60 trains passed through Waunakee daily, 14 of them passenger trains including the famous C&NW “400”. In 1892 a fire that spread through Waunakee destroyed the depot but a replacement was built in 1896 and that building remains today. Check out the Historical Kiosk located here to learn more about the Waunakee Area Chamber of Commerce.
