For those who haven't done it before, there is an opportunity this 
coming Saturday, August 24, to tour the decommissioned Badger Army 
Ammunition plant (enter off Hwy 12, north of Prairie du Sac, more or 
less across the road from Delaney's Salvage.  Look for Dr. Evermore's 
huge "junk" sculptures):

Tour Badger Army property Saturday, Aug. 24

(open for self-guided tours from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.)



The public is invited to take a self-guided auto tour of the former 
Badger Army Ammunition Plant this Saturday, Aug. 24. The property will 
open starting at 9 a.m., and the gates will close at 3 p.m. Tour maps 
are available on the DNR website – dnr.wi.gov – by searching for “Sauk 
Prairie Recreation Area.” Tour maps will also be available the day of 
the tour at the starting point. A similar tour in October 2012 proved to 
be very popular, with more than 1,100 vehicles passing through the gates.

Also, comments on the future Sauk Prairie Recreation Area are due by 
Friday, August 30.
