Overview | Wayzata, MN - The original Wayzata Depot was located west of Broadway Avenue near where Sunsets restaurant is located today. Since Wayzata was the end of the line, horses were used to turn the engine around so it could head east on the tracks for the return trip. A garden railroad, with model trains running on weekend afternoons, was built in 2010. Also on display at the Wayzata Depot is other memorabilia about Lake Minnetonka and railroads, which includes two train models. During a visit to the Wayzata Depot, you can weigh yourself for a penny on a 1920s lollipop scale and purchase a cold bottle of soda from a 1955 Coke machine. |
