- Brief History/Description: Veterans Memorial Hall was constructed in the Greek revival and classical building style at the request of the citizens of Winnebago County to honor area veterans. Today, just as when it was dedicated by President Theodore Roosevelt on June 3rd, 1903, Veterans Memorial Hall stands to honor all veterans. It has rental space available and is a great place to hold your event. The hall is visually appealing and intellectually stimulating with artifacts from various wars and campaigns on display.
