The Sheboygan Armory: A Part of the Community

December 20, 2022 by Veronica Valdez

Sheboygan, Wisconsin – December 20, 2022 – The Sheboygan Armory was listed in the State Register of Historic Places on August 17, 2018, and the National Register of Historical Places on January 31, 2019, before it’s demolition in 2021. When it was determined that the Armory was beyond repair, and prior attempts to repurpose or redevelop the armory failed, demolition was deemed the best course of action. Because of its status as a historical place, conditions had to be agreed upon with the State Historical Preservation Office to move forward with the demolition. One of these conditions what that the City was required to produce a documentary of the history of the Armory.


The Sheboygan Armory was a large part of the community since its construction in 1941. The Armory was the site of many community events including basketball games, graduation ceremonies, concerts, and festivals. To help preserve the many memories that the Armory provided, the City of Sheboygan has produced a documentary, “The Sheboygan Armory: A Part of the Community”.

A screening for the documentary will be held at the Stefanie H. Weill Center for the Performing Arts. This will be a free event, open to the public, held on January 26th, 2023 at 6:00 P.M. Doors will open at 5:00 P.M. with informational booths of historical related entities. The documentary will cover the construction of the armory, the major events, through to the demolition. Please join us and share in the memories that the Armory helped to create.

The Documentary is available to the public via the WSCS website and a copy of the production will be available for check-out from the Mead Public Library at a later date. The Documentary is also available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/gXaolqFx89w.

For questions, contact Chad Pelishek, Director of Planning and Development (920) 459-3383 or by email at chad.pelishek@sheboyganwi.gov.

Severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon into tonight. If storms develop during the afternoon to early evening hours, they will rapidly become severe (hail, wind, and tornadoes all possible). Keep an eye on the skies today and be sure to have a shelter plan! #wiwx #swiwx

Off and on chances for showers and thunderstorms, with the exception of Friday night through Sunday (with generally dry and quiet weather). A few rumbles of thunder possible late tonight into Fri AM, but the main focus for storm potential is Monday/Tuesday next week. #wiwx
