In celebration of being awarded National Historic Landmark status, the Dayton VAMC will unveil historical markers at eight historically-significant buildings on campus. There are only a little more than 2,500 sites across the country which have earned designation as a National Historic Landmark. President Lincoln authorized the Dayton VAMC campus as one of the three National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers in 1865. The designation spans 51 buildings or structures and 266 acres across the campus. The historic spots include the Protestant Chapel, the Headquarters building, Putnam Library, and more.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, carriage rides, a riding tour and a walking tour will be provided to the attendees to the historical sites around the campus.
