The museum is great had lots of photos of the original badger ordinance plant from world war I until it closed in the late 80s and it had a lot of the pre-war pictures of the females working there in the munitions plant my parents actually worked here in the seventies and as a child I stayed across in the village Park and this one baby status there and then to bring a bus and take us over to the building and we have lunch with her parents and then they take us back over the daycare. There's a lot of great history here and pictures of plat maps memorabilia badges uniforms and the different types of ammunition the gentleman that's kind of overseas the museum is very knowledgeable and likes talking to you about the history. Donations are welcome. The museum is open year round. More information on the badger ammunition plant can also be found at the Wisconsin historical society
Great place to learn about a historic past that is not well known in this country. Small sized you would not find a better curator to talk about the history of this place.
Very interesting. I learned much about the history of the place and had an opportunity to talk with the curator for over an hour. My mother work there during WWII so I was very interested in learning more about this place.
I remember driving past here as a kid on the way to the Dells and the stench from here was unreal. I can’t remember the smell and I’m pretty sure this was the place as the only other munitions plant near me was in Joliet and we have no reason to go near there. Pointless review but I remember this place being absolutely immense.
Was a very interesting museum. Learned a lot of information about the Badger ammunition plant. I strongly recommend a visit.
