Contractors with JMJ Construction of New Lisbon, Wis., along with support from Heritage Movers of Blue River, Wis., returned to the post to move World War II-era buildings to their new foundation areas Nov. 1, 2023, at Fort McCoy, Wis. They moved four buildings previously on in the spring of 2023. The contractors are relocating and repairing four barracks buildings, according to the Fort McCoy Directorate of Public Works. The plan is to relocate the buildings to the new locations, lift them onto the new foundations and complete the remaining work by the end of 2023. This was the first time in Fort McCoy's history that barracks buildings were moved and saved like this. The buildings were originally constructed in 1942 when the "New Camp" at then-Camp McCoy was built during World War II. (U.S. Army Video by Scott T. Sturkol, Public Affairs Office, Fort McCoy, Wis.)
