| The Commemorative Area consists of five World War II-era buildings set aside to help tell Fort McCoy's unique story. These facilities, representative of the type found in the cantonment area when it was constructed in 1942, help to depict soldier life during the 1940s. An administrative facility, a dining facility and one barracks are set up to represent each facility's use during the WWII era. Display items include bunk beds, footlockers and potbelly stoves. The other buildings, both barracks, house informational displays that highlight the events of WWII. |  |
