4.0Badger Ammunition Museum(1 review) - Looks like abandoned from outside, but "it's alive!" Spent 1-2 hours Military Museums
For a long time, driving by this place many times over, I assumed that since Badger Ammunition Plant ceased to exist, so did the museum. But once I got to drive through during its claimed open hours, and forced myself to deviate and see if it's actually open. It was! Very neat little museum describing the history of the bygone era in photos and stories and objects from that time - check it out if nearby!See more..
