The following link will take you to a web page about the Indiana Soldiers Home 100 years ago, 1901. Gives the history of the home and has some very nice vintage photos. There is a hospital at the home and from the tower you could see Battle Ground, and Delphi, Indiana. It would have been great to be a twelve year old living close by and go and spend a day listening to the Vets talk about their campaigns. http://www.rootsweb.com/~intippec/SoldiersHome.html Michael DeLorenzo Prince William County Virginia
