The General Assembly passed an act, approved March 27, 1902, “to provide for the establishment and maintenance of a Confederate home to be a charitable institution of the State . . . and providing for the care and maintenance of infirm and dependent Confederate soldiers of the State of Kentucky.” This institution was to be operated for twenty-five years or as long as needed.
