This is a photo taken April 5, 2024, at Fort McCoy, Wis., of an album of old photos that include historical images of Fort McCoy as it looked more than a century ago plus with other photos from as late as the Operation Desert Storm era of the 1990s. An amateur Wisconsin historian was antique hunting in a northern Wisconsin antique store and stumbled across a photo album marked “Fort McCoy-Military.” He noticed the photos included in the album were old and thought the photos might be important, so he purchased the album for $20. He then donated all of it to Fort McCoy to have for historical archives. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T. Sturkol, Public Affairs Office, Fort McCoy, Wis.)
