Jefferson General Hospital

Jefferson General Hospital was the third-largest hospital during the American Civil War, located at Port Fulton, Indiana (now part of Jeffersonville, Indiana) and was active between February 21, 1864, and December 1866.

Union authorities took the property without compensation, similar to what happened at Arlington National Cemetery.

Each ward had 4 large cast iron stoves, which warmed the building.

After the hospital closed, the buildings were intended for a soldier's home, and given to the state of Indiana for that purpose.

After two months possession, the proposed home was instead built near Knightstown, and the buildings returned to the US Government.
