G.A.R. Post No. 37 was organized in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, in July 1882 as a quasi-military and social organization for veterans of the Civil War. In 1891, a county-wide veterans organization, the Crawford County Veterans Association, was formed to hold annual veterans reunions in the county.

These records include adjutant's roll and quarterly records, 1886-1908; minutes of the secretary, 1882-1911; a cashbook, 1882-1893; a ledger, 1882-1893; and a medical description book which lists members of Plummer Post No. 37 who were wounded during the Civil War, noting the nature and result of the injury and the location of the battle where the wound was received. The collection also contains the minute book and register of the Crawford County Veterans Association, 1891-1899.
