Portage WWII Museum

Story

This is a must see! Its the 2010 winner of the Columbia County Vistiors Bureau Award. It is a 2 hour guided tour full of amazing information and many artifacts. This tour has stumped several history buffs and WWII veterans too! Many of the pieces have come from half way across the world to Portage, WI. From badges to daggers and so much in between! Just when you think you have seen something so rare you will never see something that rare again...you move on to the next room and se so much more that is more rare than you just seen! There are many things to see and learn from Hitler's SS to the Hitler youth. The museum diplays tribute to all military From the Army, Army Air Corps, Navy & Marines. There is a variety of weapons on display including 2 original 100lb bombs from WWII! There is a Holocaust room too that is growing little by little. We were told by other museums not to have a a Holocaust room but we believe that this should never be forgotten.There is much to see in this room things you never forget and things you never knew about. but it is part of the history that goes with WWII and needs to talked about.

The WW2 Museum in Portage, Wisconsin is a must see for everyone. Brett runs the museum and he has a huge collection of rare and unique items from WW 2 and other military conflicts. Brett know the back story on all the item and I guarantee he will have many things you have not seen. I highly recommend this tour to everyone. We drove from Texas to see the museum and we were not disappointed. Great job Brett.

Fantastic guided tour from Brett, it might not look like much but go there and witness it for yourself and you'll see that it's a hidden gem!

Other museums have posters to read. This museum has a knowledgeable curator who shows you the items individually and tells you their history. You feel as if you were there as events happened. Plan on spending hours listening and learning but it seems like just minutes have passed.
