The records of the Chippewa Falls Armory contain correspondence, reports, and financial records relating to the operation of facility and the Wisconsin National Guard units (Troop A Cavalry and Batteries C and F of the 120th Field Artillery) stationed there during the 1920s. Correspondence includes instructions received from the state's Adjutant General, Quartermaster, and Military Architect and Engineer as well as the federal War Department. This correspondence provides insight into the operation of an armory following World War I and the upkeep of both cavalry and artillery units of the National Guard. The financial records include public vouchers that detail the expenditures made for the operation of the armory. Purchase orders show the supplies needed both for the building, the men, and the cavalry unit's horses. Reports provide information about the members of the National Guard unit and include muster rolls, inspections, and attendance records. Also in the collection are some personal papers of Duncan R. Ackley, a captain at the armory during the 1920s, including some certificates relating to his National Guard service.
