The Kendalls Depot is a historic railroad station located on North Railroad Street in Kendall, Wisconsin. The station was built in 1900 for the Chicago & Northwestern Railway. It used the railroad's standard "Number Two" design and was given a camelback roof and ornamental stickwork to distinguish it.^[2] The line was abandoned in 1964 and the former railbed was converted into the nation's first rail trail, opening in 1967. Today, the depot serves as a trailhead for the Elroy-Sparta State Trail and houses a railroad history museum.^[3]

The depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.^[1]
