The Museum of Badger Army Ammunition is located on the
site of the former Badger Army Ammunition Plant in the building pictured here.
Originally identified as the ADP Building, Bldg. 207. This Building is a 4800 sq. ft.,
secure, metal clad, concrete block building built in 1971/72 to house a main
frame computer and equipment to connect to the Army Automated Digital
Information Network.
Today this building is the
home of the Badger History Group's Museum of Badger Army Ammunition and
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources personnel. BHG has office and archive
space, and 1400 sq. ft. of exhibit space.
The photos below give you some idea of the displays we use in our museum to tell
some of the many stories that are the Badger Ordnance Works/Badger Army
Ammunition Plant. More then 70 years of stories that range from the land owners whose land was taken
for BOW through construction and production for three wars.
