Wisconsin Veterans Museum

The Wisconsin Veterans Museum, located on Capitol Square in Madison, Wisconsin, United States, is dedicated to telling the stories of the veterans of the state of Wisconsin. The museum comprises two galleries that chronicle the history of Wisconsin citizens who served in the U.S. military from the A

merican Civil War to the present day. The Wisconsin Veterans Museum is an educational activity of the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs. The museum dates to 1901, when it was established as the Grand Army of the Republic Memorial Hall in the Wisconsin State Capitol. That museum and its collections were destroyed in the Capitol fire of 1904, but the G.A.R. Memorial Hall retained a place in the rebuilt Capitol until it moved to its current location in 1993 and was renamed the Wisconsin Veterans Museum.
