A visitor looks inside one of several historical buildings Sept. 20, 2018, at the historic Commemorative Area at Fort McCoy, Wis. The 900 block of the installation and the 11-acre area surrounding it are at the hub of the fort's history-preservation efforts. The Commemorative Area consists of five World War II-era buildings set aside to help tell Fort McCoy's unique story. These facilities are representative of the types found in the cantonment area when it was constructed in 1942. Three of the buildings — an administrative facility, a dining facility, and a barracks — are set up to depict Soldier life during the 1940s. Display items include a World War II chapel, bunk beds, footlockers, mannequins, and potbelly stoves. Another building highlights four different modern military training venues, and a separate facility shows various training aids. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T.
