Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

THE GROTTO WAS CREATED IN THE OLD QUARRY WHERE LIMESTONE WAS REMOVED TO CONSTRUCT THE ORIGINAL BUILDINGS ON THE HISTORIC DAYTON VA CAMPUS. ORIGINALLY KNOWN AS THE SOLDIERS' HOME, IT WAS CREATED IN 1865 ALONG WITH TWO OTHERS MILWAUKEE, WI, AND TONGAS, ME TO PROVIDE A PLACE WHERE SOLDIERS RETURNING FROM THE CIVIL WAR COULD REST AND HEAL THEIR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL WOUNDS. THE SOLDIERS, AT THE URGING OF ONE OF THE DOCTORS, CREATED THE GROTTO IN THE OLD QUARRY. IT CONTAINED BEAUTIFUL GARDENS, LAKES, AND A SPECTACTULAR ARCHED ENTRY, ALL DESIGNED TO PROVIDE A PEACEFUL PLACE TO REFLECT AND HEAL. IT BECAME A MAJOR ATTRACTION FOR THE COMMUNITY WITH EVENTS TO SHOWCASE THE BEAUTIFUL GARDENS CREATED BY THE VETERANS. OVER TIME, NEGLECT AND FUNDING ALLOWED THE GROTTO TO DETERIORATE. ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO, MEMBERS OF OUR ORGANIZATION AND THE COMMUNITY BEGAN THE PROCESS OF RESTORING THE GROTTO TO ITS ORIGINAL BEAUTY AND TRANQUILITY. IT IS ONCE AGAIN A COMMUNITY ATTRACTION AND A PLACE OF HEALING FOR OUR VETERANS WITH SEVERE INJURIES AND PTSD. FUNDS ARE RAISED ANNUALLY TO MAINTAIN THE GARDENS.
