Plan Your Visit
Fort Winnebago Surgeons Quarters (FWSQ) has three buildings on its property: the Surgeons Quarters, Garrison School for touring and our cottage that holds a gift shop and an administrative office. Each is stocked with many interesting period documents and artifacts, including: medical equipment, books, blacksmith items, clocks, crockery, whale oil lamps, glassware, early children's toys, and more.
In addition to the many original pieces that were donated by Portage area residents and Daughters of the American Revolution chapters throughout the state, the Wisconsin Historical Society also aided in furnishing FWSQ. We thank all of the individuals and organizations that have supported FWSQ through the years!
In addition to the two historic buildings making up FWSQ, there are three other nearby historical sites of interest: Military Road, Old Fort Winnebago Cemetery, and Historic Indian Agency House. Learn more about them here. Be sure to visit them as well.
