Fort McCoy
Fort McCoy is named for Robert Bruce McCoy. The son of a Civil War captain, McCoy was a prominent local resident who, throughout his lifetime, served as a lawyer, district attorney, county judge and mayor of Sparta, Wis. He reached the rank of major general during his 31 years of distinguished military service, which included service in the Spanish-American War, the police action in Mexico, and World War. Today the installation has served in a continuing capacity as one of the Army’s 15 Power-Projection Platforms by processing and preparing soldiers for duty in the Global War on Terrorism.
Sparta, WI
Sparta is the county seat of Monroe County, nestled in the beautiful rolling hills of western Wisconsin. Once known for the healing powers of the local artesian springs, Sparta is now most recognized as the junction of the Elroy-Sparta and La Crosse River bike trails. Sparta's claim as the Bicycling Capital of America is based upon the first rail bed in Wisconsin to be converted to bike trails between Sparta and Elroy. Hunting and fishing opportunities abound in the area as does award winning golf at the Sparta Municipal Golf Course. Sparta is home to many unique shops in the historic downtown district and world recognized manufacturers in growing business parks.
