We went by it around Christmas time and we were told that it is now just an old folks home. Don't know if they still have old soldiers there now or not. It's in McKenna, WA. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 7:19 PM Subject: [WASHINGTON-L] Re: Civil War veterans' homes > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CCC.2ACE/2273.2 > > Message Board Post: > > There was, and maybe still is, a "State Soldiers Home" in Orting, Washington. It was, or is, in Pierce County about 20 miles SSE of Puyallup. I know it was still in existance in 1926 when my great grandfather died there. I have also talked to people who indicated it was still operating as late as 1990.
