Ancient Wars Museum

About

A.W.M. Has a variety of artifacts from around the world, ranging from ancient times to the present, we change exhibitions every 6 to 7 months.



"Every veteran is a story.The Wisconsin Veterans Museum arose from the desire of Wisconsin’s Civil War veterans to preserve the legacy of their accomplishments and the memory of their fallen comrades. In 1901, the Grand Army of the Republic GAR Memorial Hall opened in the state capitol building to fulfill the mandate of Chapter 125, which required state officials establish a memorial hall to commemorate Wisconsin’s role in the Civil War and any subsequent wars.In 1945, control of the GAR Memorial Hall was transferred to the newly created WI Dept of Veterans Affairs, as an educational activity of the department. In 1991, WVM opened at its current location to better tell the stories of WI veterans from the Civil War to present day."

I try to visit as many museums as possible when I travel, and I was not expecting to see a lot at such a "small" museum compared to the other places I've been, but boy was I wrong! Not only do they have a lot of exhibits spanning every war, but the amount of information you can take in and explore is very impressive! There were a bunch of kids there doing a scavenger hunt where they had to find answers to questions by going around and reading about each war throughout the exhibits. If you have even just an hour to spare I definitely recommend coming here, especially since it's free
Amazing place! Such a walk through military history. So sad the photos we had from Hiroshima but amazing the fliers and pamphlets that were there from both sides of the war. Just amazing us history
Lots of interesting exhibits. Of course this old submariner was drawn to the fully functional periscope. Was a great exhibit. Highly recommend it.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entryFree
Went by myself to explore- had a fantastic time learning and exploring so much about Wisconsin especially as an out-of-state person. Very cool exhibits and artifacts favorite was probably the parachute dress!. I will note that as someone who reads everything, it took me about two hours to go through the whole place. It's about three rooms full of stuff so if you don't want to read everything your visit will probably be shorter. I will warn, there's no hands-on stuff so a visit with kids might be rough- but I loved it : I went on a Saturday afternoon, maybe saw two or three families the entire time I was there to my surprise. The workers were very nice and even though the museum doesn't allow bags the lady at the front offered to watch my stuff for me!
Much better museum than I expected. There we five us ranging in age from 27-76 and we all found it very interesting. It is much larger than it seems from the entry way.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
A very impressive museum with finely crafted, life size war zone recreations and displays! Very appealing and educative for every age! All displays highlight almost all the US military engagements from the time of American civil war until the Vietnam war! Many of the original equipments including a combat aircraft and a helicopter on display.
This museum is free and really well done. As a veteran of Desert Shield and Storm from the 13th Evacuation Hospital from Madison this museum means a lot to me.
A very nice, free museum that is simple and to the point. I enjoyed browsing the war artifacts and the models of tanks and airplanes. The Veterans Museum also has very fun interactive exhibits, ranging from looking up potential relatives that served in the Civil War to hearing the war stories of WWII veterans. I definitely enjoyed this museum and I would definitely be back!
Super, super amazing place to go on a field trip! The guide was informative, humorous, and natural. The displays were accurate, as well as incredible to admire.
Small but informative museum. Wish there was more seating options, as this museum mostly attracts elderly and those who may have a hard time walking, and two benches was not enough.Visited onPublic holidayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
