RSVP for West Rail Corridor Walking Tour
media release: In the 19th century, the West Rail Corridor, the area around the Milwaukee Road Depot on West Washington Avenue, was a hotbed of businesses that depended on the railroad to transport raw materials and finished products, as well as businesses that served railroad passengers and workers. This area, birthplace of a number of long-term Madison businesses, now abounds with repurposed historic buildings that are home to offices, renters and condo owners. Join us for a nostalgic look at a previous transportation world plus a display of railroad photographs provided by the Center for Railroad Photography and Art. Guests will also enjoy light snacks and beverages at the end of the tour.
