This collection consists of quarterly muster rolls sent to the state department from 500 local posts. The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) was a veteran's organization for Union soldiers after the Civil War. It reached its largest influence thanks to lobbying for pensions for veterans.

This collection also includes the activities of the post, charter applications, and photographs of post charters.
