Records of a Dunn County institution originally founded as the Dunn County Asylum for the Chronic Insane (1892) and the Dunn County Poor House (later known as the Dunn County Home). During the 1940s, the two institutions became the Dunn County Hospital and Home. In 1972, a new facility that included a nursing home and a psychiatric unit was opened under the name Dunn County Heath Care Center. The records primarily document the institutions' financial history. Included are unpublished annual reports, audit reports by the Wisconsin Tax Commission, and reimbursement bills submitted to the state and other counties. Patient records primarily consist of lists of original residents of the asylum, residents from the 1930s and 1940s, and a population movement book, 1955-1970, although additional information about individual patients is included in other records in the series. Miscellaneous records include minutes of the original asylum building commission (which included J. H. Stout and A. R. Hall), architectural plans and photographs, brochures, employee rules and lists, property inventories, a patient diary dated 1915-1916, a journal of crops raised, and leases.
