SUVCW Missouri Department

G.A.R. Post Records

The objectives of the G.A.R. Post Records project are to (1) identify the location of Post records (i.e., post rosters, meeting logs, member applications, by-laws, etc.) and (2) determine if the Post meeting location still exists (and if so, in what condition). There were a total of 594 G.A.R. Posts that existed in Missouri at some time between 1866 and the early 1940’s.

Unlike the SUVCW, there were no continuing national or state G.A.R. organizations; they existed for only a few days each year at the annual Encampments. The great majority of G.A.R. records were maintained by the local Posts. When the last member of each Post died, the records were treated as personal property and many were thrown away or burned by disinterested executors. G.A.R. records that did survive were often given to local, state and national archives, historical societies, colleges and universities, or inherited by succeeding veterans organizations such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion. Some exist today in private collections and others still repose today…undetected…in attics.

Much like the Graves Registration program, the Department of Missouri has an aggressive goal to complete research of all 594 G.A.R. posts by the year 2010. In order to obtain additional information, or to find out how you can help, please contact our Department G.A.R. Post Records Officer at the following:

The following list was compiled by members of the SUVCW, Department of Missouri. Sources for the information are many, though they include records beginning from a list compiled in 2000 by Douglas Niermeyer, Vern Stottlemyer, and Jeff Henningfield. Since then, Walter Busch has expanded the list to include other posts. As meeting locations of the posts and current storage locations of original charters, rosters, meeting minutes, etc. are located, the list will be updated.
