The itinerary was produced by the National Park Service’s Heritage Education Services and Federal Preservation Institute in partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs Historic Preservation Office, the National Preservation Institute, and the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers. The National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers was established by President Abraham Lincoln to care for volunteers who fought for the Union during the Civil War. These VA medical centers are still active today.
