Fort Dodge was established in 1865 not 1859.
The first housing were dugouts with canvas roofs dug into the bank of the Arkansas River not sod or adobe.

Thank you so much for telling me about your brother. It cleared up a question from another reader and I was able to provide her with a site to visit to get more information to help her.

Our sites are grateful for readers such as you who help us help others. Thank you again!

My brother is a resident at the Soldier’s home. He had to go through his social worker at the Veteran’s Administration.

The Fort Dodge Soldier's Home is a tourist site where history can be studied and the past relived, but it is not a residential facility.

EDIT:

I am sending you a link to a site that has information on it for the Solider’s Home through the Veterans’ Administration. When I responded previously I was responding to the museum and not to the home, for that I sincerely apologize.

Good luck with your quest.

I have looked at every web site I can find for information on how to become a resident of Fort Dodge Soldier’s Home.
Can you help?

Thanks
