The Wisconsin Historical Museum (WHS) is a museum located on the Capitol Square and features information about the history of Wisconsin. In addition to Wisconsin history, it provides information about other American history topics through artifacts, photographs, full-scale dioramas, audio-visual presentations, and interactive multimedia programs. In addition to exhibits about traditional aspects of the state's history, the museum has also offered an exhibition on malted milk, which was first made in Wisconsin, and includes in its permanent collection a Big Boy, the mascot of a hamburger chain, rescued in 1985 when its restaurant closed.

The machine is located in the Gift Shop, but outside the Museum, so no entry charge. Hours of operation: Tuesday through Saturday 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, Sunday 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, Closed Monday. Collector Passports are available for sale in the Gift Shop for $5, tax included.
