GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC POSTS
                                                                                             Wayne County Iowa

 The Grand Army of the Republic was created in 1866 as a national fraternal organization for Union veterans of the Civil War.
 Shortly thereafter Iowa chartered a State Department of the GAR. 

GAR records provide information on Civil War military service not only for men who served in Iowa regiments, but also or Union veterans from other states who later joined a GAR post in Iowa.

The following is a list of GAR posts in Wayne County from the State Historical Society of Iowa, Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs
