In 1875, it took 30 minutes to get to Chicago (about the same as now), and the fare was 11 cents (adult one-way tickets cost $3.05 in 2006)[2] and $5.50 as of February 2018. The former station has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975.[3][4]

The present Metra station in Wilmette opened in 2001.
