Fort McCoy Archaeologist Ryan Howell with the Directorate of Public Works Environmental Division Natural Resources Branch looks over old installation real property records Jan. 22, 2021, in a conference room at Fort McCoy, Wis. In late 2020, Howell was alerted to an old filing cabinet in one of the post’s older buildings that contained decades-old real property books. Howell said the find, which includes dozens of photos and documents about now-demolished architecture on Fort McCoy’s South Post, is special. It offers a variety of information about what the installation was like from 1909 to the early 1940s, including a full description of the installation’s oldest remaining structures.
