Nestled against steep slopes of cambrian sandstone, the village of Camp Douglas is a quiet, safe and friendly community. The area's unusual geography dates back to ancient times when the wave action of glacial Lake Wisconsin carved the picturesque bluffs. Today, they serve as distinctive monuments marking this thriving and vibrant community. As trailhead for the Omaha Trail, Camp Douglas is the gateway to exciting bicycling adventures. The Camp Douglas community is also home to the Volk Field and Camp Williams military facilities. The Wisconsin National Guard Library and Museum is located on the base. In this restored 1896 log lodge, you find exhibits including uniforms, weapons and equipment, terrain maps and dioramas of battles. Military vehicles and aircraft are on display on the grounds.
