The Wisconsin Veterans Museum's Travel Trunk program allows you to borrow pieces of the Museum to display at your library.

Each trunk contains uniforms, artifacts, multi-media, lesson plans and activities that illustrate the Wisconsin soldier's experience in one of the following conflicts:

• Civil War
• World War I
• WWII: European Theater 
• WWII: Pacific Theater
• Korea
• Vietnam
• Gulf War

Travel Trunks may be rented for two weeks, and may be picked up at the Wisconsin Veterans Museum in Madison or shipped directly to your library.

The cost to rent a travel trunk is $25 (shipping costs are extra).
