Located in East Troy, WI, just 20 minutes from the resort area of Lake Geneva, WI, the East Troy Electric Railroad operates 10-mile round trip excursions from its historic depot and museum to the turn of the century-styled terminal at the renowned Elegant Farmer in Mukwonago, WI. The railroad and adjoining museum are home to over 20 rail treasures including open cars, locomotives, streetcars and interurban coaches. The railroad also operates the only electric interurban dining car train in North America recreating the luxury that patrons once enjoyed when life seemed to pass by a little slower. The East Troy Electric Railroad is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization run by volunteers committed to the operation and preservation of historic trolleys and interurban railcars. All proceeds and sales benefit the education and preservation work of this museum.

📅 This Day in History: October 21, 1907

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Lake Beulah was home to the Lake Beulah Hotel, a popular resort located on the eastern shore of the lake.

On October 21, 1907, The Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company opened its Beulah Lake stop along the interurban railway to East Troy. Visitors could ride the electric railway to the stop, then walk or take a carriage less than a mile to the hotel.

The hotel experienced its second fire in 1911 and was not rebuilt afterwards, but pieces of this history remain. You can still find the original brick steps and passing track from the former station along our railroad today. 🚎

Behind the Scenes Sunday!

Our volunteers have been hard at work giving our gardens and railroad a good autumn cleanup. Our volunteers have also been hard at work ensuring that the former Beulah Lake station stop has been looking better than ever!

This was once a busy stop along the interurban line between Milwaukee and East Troy. Passengers would hop off of the trains here before ascending the now-repaired and cleaned staircase to a road. They would then continue down that road to the Lake Beulah Hotel, a grand hotel lost to fire in 1911!
