The History Center is located at the historic Commemorative Area Fort McCoy, Wis.
The 900 block of the installation and the 11-acre area surrounding it are at the hub of the fort's history-preservation efforts.
The History Center features displays of photographs and memorabilia that reflect the roles the installation has held since 1909.
The Fort McCoy History Center reopened Sept. 11, 2015, after several months of work to renovate the interior and exterior of the facility.
Interior renovations provided for expanded exhibit floor space, improved lighting, and installation of energy efficient heating and air-conditioning systems.
Exterior improvements included new steps and a ramp to improve access for visitors.
During its reopening, visitors experienced the results of these improvements firsthand, especially the increased floor space, which has allowed for the display of more of the installation historical collection.
The History Center features exhibits as well as displays of artifacts, photographs and memorabilia that tell the story of Fort McCoy since its founding in 1909.
The center first was opened in 1999 in building 902 when the Fort McCoy observed its 90th anniversary and had never had any type of significant facility upgrades.
