Formerly Western Branch of National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. Established in 1885 as population moved west, Civil War veterans increased demand and Mexican War Veterans became eligible for Home care. Most of the original buildings and walkways were constructed of stone quarried locally and brick manufactured on the site. Excess brick from the manufactory was sold on the public market. The first trolley car line in the city of Leavenworth ran between downtown and the Western Branch of the National Home. All pre-1930 construction is significant. Special interest in the Chapel and old Library.
