The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) is a nation-wide organization, comprised of more than 200 community-based Camps which are organized under 26 Departments. The Department of Indiana oversees camps and SUVCW members within Indiana.

Indiana played an important role during the American Civil War. During the course of the war, Indiana contributed approximately 210,000 soldiers and millions of dollars of horses, food and supplies to the U.S. Army. Hoosiers served in every major engagement of the war and almost every engagement – minor or otherwise – in the western theater of the war. As an agriculturally rich state containing the fifth-highest population in the Union and sixth-highest of all states, Indiana was critical to Northern success. We seek to preserve the history and legacy of those heroes who fought and worked to save the Union.
