Hide Profile

The Home for Veterans was established at King, Wisconsin in 1887 by the Grand Army of the Republic. Operation of the home was initially supervised by a Board of Trustees. Chapter 514, Laws of 1929 changed the institution's name to the Grand Army Home for Veterans and placed its operation under the direct supervision of the state Adjutant General. Chapter 580, Laws of 1945 transferred management to the newly created Dept. of Veterans Affairs (WIHV86-A1691). In 1973, the institution was renamed the Wisconsin Veterans Home. In Wisconsin State Archives' database entries, this form of name is used for all records of this institution from 1887 to the present.

The Home provides personal maintenance and medical care to Wisconsin war veterans, their spouses, and dependent parents.
