Superb museum despite its small size. Does justice covering wars representing most of our American history. Take a brief look inside, and you'll not emerge for hours!
Free will offering. Very complete exhibits of all wars with just enough reading to show they all related to Wisconsin, and yet short enough to keep a visitor's attention. I especially liked the dark, quiet atmosphere of the museum, which gave a quiet respect to the personal benefits and costs of war. Very well done. Nearby parking, very handicapped accessible.
Spanning all American wars with tons of memorabilia, this is a great little museum right in the middle of DT Madison. Very helpful staff. Great stuff for military historians and veterans, emphasis on the experience of Wisconsin's service men & women.
This was an excellent veteran's museum from the civil war to present day. It had great displays, alot of artifacts, and stories to go along with everything. It did somewhat focus on Wisconsin's part, but anyone can enjoy this museum! I absolutely loved it and would go again if in Madison!
A very well-done museum that offers a history timeline of the Wisconsin veteran. The displays are extremely good, the staff is knowledgeable, and the facility is easy to navigate. Their special events are worth checking out.
What a great, free museum on the capital square. The museum is great for someone that is interested in WI history, history of US wars and conflicts, and someone like me, who isn't! A lot of interesting facts about the culture of the times and the artifacts were neat to look at!
Very nice display of Wisconsin residents' participation in the wars from the Civil War till present. Nice gift shop. Compact so easy on the feet.
Like everything down on the Square in Madison, WI, this place is awesome. Especially if you are military oriented. Lots of interesting displays and history.
Were at the Capital for a tour and we had some extra time so we stopped at the Veterans Museum. The kids were impressed and so was I. It does not take long to go through the Museum but worth stopping and learning more about our past. I was impressed on their displays, they look so real. They have a great gift shop, if you are looking for something for a veteran. I would say it will take you about 45 min. to 1 hour to go through this, that is if you read everything.
The Wisconsin Veterans Museum does a wonderful job of honoring Wisconsin's veterans. The exhibits are carefully developed and display a range of Wisconsin history from Civil War to the present. Best part, the museum is completely free!
