Dodgeville's rich railroad history is reflected in this charming cottage, which was originally built as housing for railroad workers. The historic gray railroad building adjacent to the cottage and the unique stone construction are testament to the town's deep connection to rail transportation.

Historical Context:
Dodgeville was once served by both the Chicago and Northwestern and Illinois Central Railroads

The Illinois Central freight depot still stands in downtown Dodgeville

Railroads played a crucial role in the town's development and economic growth in the 19th and early 20th centuries

The stone construction not only adds architectural charm but also represents the craftsmanship of the era when railroad workers and miners were integral to the community's development. This cottage stands as a living piece of Dodgeville's transportation and industrial heritage.

This cottage is ideal for travelers seeking a peaceful home base to explore Southwest Wisconsin's beautiful landscapes and charming towns.
