Additional Details:
Situated in a beautiful grove in the intersection of the City are the comfortable cottages constituting the home maintained by the State for the beneal of native-born on federate veternas, and those who served in. Here, these honored heroes, "by time subdued," are spending the evening of life, calmly and fearlessly awaiting the inevitable summons to spread their tents on the eternal camping ground. In the Main or Administration building shown in this view is an excellent museum, containing, among many interesting relics, the mounted figure of Gen. Jackson's famous war horse.
