Welcome to Scenic Woodville, Wisconsin

Nestled in west-central Wisconsin, Woodville is a charming village rich in Norwegian heritage and small-town hospitality. With a population of just over 1,300 residents, Woodville combines the warmth of a close-knit community with easy access to urban amenities in Minneapolis/St. Paul to the west and Eau Claire to the east.



Guests staying at Memories at The Depot enjoy the perfect balance — a quiet retreat with endless opportunities for dining, recreation, and exploration just minutes away.

A Community Steeped in History and Tradition

Woodville was first settled in 1870, closely tied to the railroad and logging industries that shaped the area. That same history surrounds you at Memories at The Depot, once an active 1889 railroad depot hotel.



The town proudly celebrates its Norwegian roots every spring with Syttende Mai, Norway’s Independence Day. During this festive event in May, Woodville comes alive with parades, cultural performances, food, and storytelling that bring Norwegian folklore to life.


History enthusiasts will also enjoy visiting the Historical Society Museum of Woodville, a short walk from the property, where artifacts and exhibits highlight the area’s past.
