An old ammunition plant that I believe was running back in WWII not sure though I should research it though. Its in Wisconsin by Baraboo and Wisconsin Dells. Recently theres been a lot of activity there I wonder if theyre opening it back up. Other then that prob the Navy Pier in Chicago



The Badger Army Ammunition Plant (BAAAP or Badger) or Badger Ordnance Works (B.O.W.) is an excess, non-BRAC, United States Army facility located near Baraboo, Wisconsin. Badger consists of 7,354 acres (30 km2) of land. It manufactured nitrocellulose-based propellants during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. It is currently the site of demolition and remediation projects being conducted in preparation for property transfer. This ammunition plant was the largest in the world when it was built during World War II. It was also used to test the M16 before the Vietnam war. Its now gonna be split up into 6 things the DOA, DOT, farming and some other stuff



Camp Randall it was used as a base and prison during the Civil WarWhat is the largest former military artifact nearest your residence?Lake Gieger at Paul B. Johnson State Park, dug by German POWs in WW2, also a pretty large swatstika is dug out in a remote part of the woods nearby, the POWs would sneak off and dig in it, they intended to light it on fire whenever their planes flew overhead so they could get rescued, planes never made it.
There is a C-141 Starlifter a few miles down the road from me along with several other aircraft and an air-park is being built. It has a C-130, C-21, and a C-9A and I have flown on all those air frames. The 141 and the C-9 that they have I actually flew on and so I think they are maybe trying to date me.
