The Washington County Veterans Association was founded in 1879 to bring together veterans of the Civil War residing in Washington County. Its purposes were patriotic, keeping friendships, and holding an annual muster or gathering in Washington County. The idea of such an association came from an 1879 reunion of Company F, 123rd Regiment, New York Volunteers. Posts of the Grand Army of the Republic in Washington County paid annual dues to the Association. For many years, H. C. Morhous of Greenwich served as Secretary.
