Seniors in the Park Presents The Milwaukee Soldiers Home


Join us for an engaging presentation exploring the history, significance, and ongoing preservation of this remarkable landmark and its enduring mission to serve our nation’s Veterans.

Discover the rich history of the Milwaukee Soldiers Home, located on the grounds of the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center. Built in 1867 as a place of healing and refuge for veterans returning from the Civil War, the Soldiers Home has provided a safe haven for thousands of Wisconsin veterans over the years. Recognized as one of only 43 National Historic Landmarks in Wisconsin, the Soldiers Home is home to some of the oldest and most historically significant buildings in the VA system. While many of these historic buildings remain in use today, others stand vacant and face deterioration.

Please join us on Wednesday, November 18 for this amazing presentation. We will be in the West room at the Starin Park Community Building, 504 W Starin Rd., Whitewater, starting at 1:00 p.m.

Please let Ashley know if you have any questions or would like to get signed up. 262-473-0535 or by email aweber@whitewater-wi.gov
