Abstract:
Formed August 1, 1873, the Governor’s Guard Association is a social and military organization. Early members were usually of German ancestry or origin. In 1874, the Guard became Company B, Third Regiment of the Wisconsin National Guard. Today the Guard is a benevolent society for veterans.

Records, 1877-2003, include historical background (1978-1995 with gaps), administrative files (1878-2003) and financial records (1877-1884; 1891-1942; 1975-1992 with gaps). The bulk of the administrative files include meeting minutes, while other items in the administrative files include applications for membership, membership and sick benefit records, and records relating to the sale of their building at 707 South 6th Street in La Crosse. The financial materials consist of a treasurer’s book, a day book, dues and assessment books, account books, a quartermaster sergeant’s record book and treasurer’s reports.
