Oconomowoc Depot

Name Block

Oconomowoc was the location of the world premiere of The Wizard of Oz on August 12, 1939. Did any of the stars or staff of the classic film come through this station? It is very likely.

With the end of passenger service ending the need for the depot, it is now a popular restaurant.
