Military Veterans Museum &
Welcome to the
Education Center
Honoring our Nation’s military history through education and preservation
Our Museum has been named the Home of the 359th Transportation Company, Vietnam by the 359 Veterans Association, and we have several artifacts honoring those who served and gave all serving our Country in this unit during the Vietnam War. If you would like to learn more about these soldiers, please check out their web site in the link below.
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.
Someone recommended this museum while we would be in Oshkosh to visit the EAA museum. From the outside, it may not appear to be much, but WOW, were we surprised! Stu greeted us and gave us an overview of what was where in the museum, and then we were off to explore. There’s uniforms and artifacts from different eras, excellent videos, but the best is the giant garage with MANY military vehicles. There are quite a few you can get in to, sit in, pretend, etc. Very kid friendly. Uniforms they can wear while in the museum. Everyone was VERY friendly. When we went, it was only open Fri-Sun. Admission is free, but donations accepted. Don’t sleep on it – highly recommend!

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.
This is an amazing place to learn about all the wars. It’s so important to keep this knowledge alive. Ted was so incredibly informative and loved that our kids came along. He made us all feel very welcome
