WISCONSIN VETERANS MUSEUM in Madison. Exhibitions of Wisconsin's Iron brigade (US Highway 12 through Illinois is named The Iron Brigade Road.) They have artifacts, displays and drawings.
Visitors who have relatives that served in Wisconsin units can buy a detailed Certificate of service document.
Admission free. Tuesday to Saturday 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.. Sundays April-Sept noon to 4 p.m. Capitol square at 30 Mifflin Street.
CIVIL WAR MUSEUM in Kenosha. Focuses on the contributions of soldiers from the upper Midwest: Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota and Michigan. Not too far from me, but I've never been. I think this museum is based on the Civil War collection that was once housed at Carthage College in the city of Kenosha.
Sun.-Mon.: Noon to 5. Tues.-Sat 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed Mondays from September to February and holidays. $7 admission. Located at 5400 First Avenue.
