The Soldiers Home Foundation, an initiative of the Milwaukee Preservation Alliance, is dedicated to preserving the historic Milwaukee Soldiers Home, a National Historic Landmark built in 1867 to provide healing and support for veterans returning from the Civil War. Through advocacy and awareness efforts, the Foundation has successfully renovated several iconic buildings into supportive housing units for homeless veterans and their families.
While progress has been made in saving some of the Soldiers Home's buildings, there is still a need to protect and restore other key historic structures like the Ward Memorial Theater, the Soldiers Home Chapel, and the Governor's Mansion. The Foundation continues its mission to ensure these significant buildings are preserved for future generations to honor the legacy of Wisconsin veterans who have found solace within the Soldiers Home walls.
