When World War II ended, the GI Bill became available to veterans interested in university in order to further their careers. The University of Wisconsin needed housing for married students. Badger became available as war workers (of the closed munitions plant across Highway 12) left Badger for work elsewhere. The university took control of Badger, thirty-five miles from the Madison campus, and named the area Badger Village. Our family, one of the first to arrive, tells this story of the GI Bill at Badger Village University of Wisconsin.
