Genesee Depot, Wisconsin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Genesee Depot is a small unincorporated community in southeastern Wisconsin, in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, in the town of Genesee, Wisconsin. It is named for the old train station, or "depot", that the Wisconsin & Calumet Railroad (now the Wisconsin and Southern Railroad) used to serve the town.

The town was where the noted husband-and-wife acting couple Alfred Lunt and his wife, Lynn Fontanne built their home, named Ten Chimneys.^[1] Many of their celebrity friends would take the rail line to Genesee Depot from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to visit them.

The town is bisected by Highway 83.
