The campus has been designated as a National Historic Site. Learn about the people of Dayton who worked to bring the "Soldiers Home" to Dayton, and the remaining historical buildings and areas on the Campus. Lead tours to share this information with groups or individuals who call us for tours. You will also be asked to record visitors and hand out surveys about the tour.
