This unique event offers the general public a once-a-year opportunity to visit Fort McCoy to learn more about the history and dynamic training-support mission of the Army’s largest installation in the Upper Midwest. The open house occurs at Fort McCoy’s award-winning, historic Commemorative Area, which features the History Center, the military vehicle Equipment Park, six World War II-era historical buildings, and the Veterans Memorial Plaza.  Enjoy lots of booths and activities for kids! Fort McCoy staff, tenant units, and military-connected organizations from surrounding communities volunteer and exhibit displays to explain what they do and how they help the armed forces.

The open house is free and family-friendly!
