The American Veterans Heritage Center, Inc. (AVHC), is a non-profit corporation with an exciting mission. We honor the accomplishments of veterans while preserving a priceless piece of national and local history--­the Soldiers Home located at the VA Medical Center in Dayton, Ohio. We invite you to take your place in history by helping us make this venture a success.

The scope of our activities include historic preservation projects, events, tours, and our annual festival, "Patriot Freedom Festival".

To learn more about our organization, we invite you to visit our "American Veterans Heritage Center Preservation" page to view some of our current projects:

• Administration Building
• Clubhouse
• Patient Library
• Soldiers Home Chapel
  

You may also take a "virtual tour" of the historic Soldiers Home campus as it existed in 1885. This highly acclaimed website includes many historic photos and information. If you are in the Dayton area, don't miss the Central Branch Soldiers Home museum display in the foyer of the Patient Tower at the Dayton VA Medical Center.
