Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings. New ideas must use old buildings

- Jane Jacobs

The Yards at Belleville Depot is a project to restore the classic 1888 Depot and create a vibrant food hub, family friendly environment for all to gather, and event space for those extra special occassions.

Located at the southern edge of Dane County along the Badger State Bike Trail, Belleville is perfectly located to support the cycling community with the upcoming reopening of the Stewart Tunnel.

The perfect blend of historic and fresh, locals and visitors both as regulars.

Our project includes white boxed, code compliant shipping containers for food vendors and a full kitchen with room to support food trucks, growing catering outfits, hobbyist, and everything in between.

As Belleville grows with new young families, the Depot welcomes the next generation into its story. A playground and thoughtfully designed landscaping will encourage play, exploration, curiosity and pride in this civic campus of historic Belleville.

Shipping containers are transformed into vibrant food stalls, providing easy turn key opportunities for growing resturants and food operators. Guests can gather around picnic tables in the yard or relax on the welcoming new wrap-around deck, savoring local flavors beneath open skies through our seasons.

At the heart of the site, The Depot herself will come alive and welcome the neighbors in. Offering comfortable indoor seating and small, seasonally and thoughtfully curated markets and vendors. Historic memorabilia will line the walls, connecting today’s visitors to the stories of those who came before.

Cyclists rolling through will also find dawn-to-dusk restrooms, bottle-filling stations, and all the small comforts that make every ride smoother and more memorable.

Above all, the Depot is being reimagined as a true gathering space—a place where grandparents, parents, and children can come together, share a meal, laugh in the yard, and create lasting memories. It’s a place where Belleville’s history and future meet, and where a new era of community life begins.
