History

The Wisconsin National Guard Museum is affectionately known as "The Log Cabin". it was built in 1971 as an Officer's Club and was used for that purpose until 1983. It now houses historical exhibits portraying the history of the Wisconsin Army, the Air National Guard, and the famed 32nd "Red Arrow" Division. It is the oldest building on base!
