Boy Scouts with Boy Scout Troop 301 of Danville, Ind., visit the Commemorative Area at Fort McCoy, Wis., on June 18, 2025, to get a first-hand learning experience about the U.S. military, the Army, and Fort McCoy. This was the group’s first visit to Fort McCoy. The 900 block of Fort McCoy and the 11-acre area surrounding it are at the hub of the fort’s history-preservation efforts and is called the Commemorative Area. The Commemorative Area consists of five World War II-era buildings set aside to help tell Fort McCoy's unique story. These facilities are representative of the types found in the cantonment area when it was constructed in 1942. Three of the buildings — an administrative facility, a dining facility, and a barracks — are set up to depict Soldier life during the 1940s. Display items include a World War II chapel, bunk beds, footlockers, mannequins, and potbelly stoves. Another building highlights four different modern military training venues, and a separate facility shows various training aids. The area also has the Equipment Park and Veterans Memorial Plaza, which is a tribute to all of the men and women who have served the nation during each era of Fort McCoy’s history.
