The Wayzata station, officially recognized as the Great Northern Railway Depot, is a historic train depot located in Wayzata, Minnesota. It was constructed and operated by the Great Northern Railway and was in service from 1906 until 1971. Although it no longer transports passenger trains, the depot's history and architecture make it a significant landmark in the area.

Location of the Depot

The depot is strategically located along Lake Minnetonka in downtown Wayzata. It offers a picturesque view of the lake, with steps leading down to the lakeshore. This location not only adds to the depot's charm but also provides visitors with a chance to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

Current Use of the Depot

Today, the depot serves as the home to both the Wayzata Historical Society Museum and the Wayzata Area Chamber of Commerce. The museum offers a glimpse into the rich history of the area, while the Chamber of Commerce provides information and resources for businesses and visitors alike.

Summer Activities at the Depot

During the summer months, the Museum of Lake Minnetonka operates the historic Minnehaha steamboat from a dock located adjacent to the depot. This offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience a piece of history while enjoying a scenic boat ride on Lake Minnetonka.
