Work is shown Nov. 20, 2025, where contractors finished areas of the Fort McCoy Commemorative Area and installed concrete pads for placement of benches, picnic tables, and garbage cans throughout the historic area at Fort McCoy, Wis. The project improved numerous areas of the Commemorative Area to allow for more seating and easier maintenance of the grounds. The 900 block of the installation, the Commemorative Area, and the 11-acre area surrounding it are at the hub of the fort’s history-preservation efforts. Veterans Memorial Plaza is a tribute to all of the men and women who have served the nation during each era of Fort McCoy’s history. The Equipment Park is an outdoor display of historic and present-day equipment representative of the types used on the installation. The design of the park allows for display of 70 pieces of equipment, ranging from helicopters and howitzers to trucks and trailers. The Commemorative Area also 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. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T. Sturkol/Fort McCoy Public Affairs Office)
