According to the web site Historic Genesee Township, the Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad laid tracks through the area in 1851. The present railroad depot was built in 1897 after the first one burned down. This station building was relocated slightly south of where it originally stood on Hwy 83 and serves diners today as the Genesee Depot Café. The Café's interior walls are decorated with historical photographs and memorabilia showing earlier times and people.
