Introducing: Our New Logo! 

We've been working behind the scenes with Milwaukee local, Insect Hobby, on a new logo featuring our Catherine Foley Tavern! That's not the only thing getting a fresh look around here, in early 2025 we will be able to reveal a new website. Stay tuned for that!

Buildings to be Restored to their Original Purpose - The Service of Veterans

In Spring 2021, Old Main and five other buildings across the Soldiers Home grounds were restored to provide 101 housing units for veterans and their families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. We are excited to hear that there is now a plan to restore three more historic buildings to the service of veterans: The Soldiers Home Chapel, Ward Memorial Theater, and Governor's Mansion. Upon completion, the three buildings will provide over 35,000 square feet of community space and supportive services for veterans.
