Our Story
Our organization began with a shared dream of 5 WWII veterans. This group of men dreamed of the day there would be a museum in the East-Central part of Wisconsin dedicated to telling the stories of our Honored Veterans.

member and visitor comments
I was impressed by all the military artifacts and information in the building. The volunteers who greeted us were very friendly. And more than willing to answer questions. I recommend this place to anyone interested in military history. I’ve already decided this is one place I will be going back to.

Spent a few hours at the Military Veterans Museum & Education Center this Memorial Day with Livi. We received an awesome tour with another family from Ron, and were even able to see a few of the trucks, jeeps etc being driven and parked by veterans and volunteers between parades.
Nice small museum with friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. Exhibits were very well cared for. A nice hour to spend.

I thought it was great and very educational. I did not realize that there was going to be somebody explaining every exhibit on display which was kind of neat otherwise we would have just walked past the exhibits and not realized exactly anything about what went on at period of time.
There was a lot more here than I thought. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. The amount of vehicles they have that you can see up close and personal and even the weapons was very impressive.
It’s a free museum and is fairly close to the aviation museum. What stands out to me is that most veteran’s museums tend to show more “attack” vehicles. This museum shows a lot of the other vehicles: Supply vehicles, wreckers, etc. These are the “hidden” parts of the war effort that finally get some credit. Also they try to get the stories behind the vehicles, which gives a lot more insight into the service.
