Fur, Feathers and Fidelity: Military Mascots and our Animal Military Working Heroes

The Highground Museum is proud to have the exhibit, “Fur, Feathers, and Fidelity: Military Mascots and our Animal Military Working Heroes” on display at The Highground Museum until August 1.

Tour the “Fur, Feathers, & Fidelity” traveling exhibit on loan from the Wisconsin Veterans Museum AND a collection of many other items and information on the animals that have served and supported our military personnel throughout history!

This is a very unique, family-friendly exhibit. Visitors will enjoy learning about the history of our furred & feathered “comrades in arms” and have fun with some interactive Museum activities, including a scavenger hunt both indoors and outdoors throughout the entire Highground Plaza. All exhibits and activities are accessible and appropriate for all ages.

DONATION DRIVE: In coordination with the military mascot exhibit, The Highground is holding a donation drive to collect dog food, dog treats and new dog toys to distribute to homeless Veterans with canine companions.  The relationship that homeless Veterans have with their beloved dogs brings an untold amount of healing and companionship to their lives. This is a chance for you to help ease the burden of caring for their best friends. The collection site is located in the Museum Lower Level.

The Highground Museum is  open daily from 10am–5pm. All exhibits and activities are accessible and appropriate for all ages. For more information about the Museum, including inquiries on booking “Remembering Our Fallen from Wisconsin” and the donation drive, contact Theresa at 715-743-4224 or by email to museum@thehighground.us.
