Built in 1902 by the Grand Army of the Republic, it was the meeting place for the veterans of the Civil War and their sons.

The building was obtained from the City of Marshall in 1976, and is now the Marshall Historical Society's archival center and military museum. There are artifacts from the Civil War, Spanish American War, World War I and World War II, along with other Marshall memorabilia. The majority of the displays are from the Civil War era, and are of or from Marshall veterans
