Preston State Veterans Home Celebration
The roots of this skilled nursing facility were planted as early as 2013 through the dedication of local veteran advocates and volunteers. The Preston Veterans Home Committee was established in the summer of 2015. Co-chairs and Vietnam veterans Don Gildner and Ron Scheevel began with little more than a dream. Over time with the help of volunteers/advocates and numerous trips to St. Paul the goal of a veterans home in Fillmore County looked more and more possible. Gildner recognized the contribution of then Preston EDA director, Cathy Enerson toward the achievement of this goal. Scheevel said she was laser focused on this project. Gildner credited her with the times she testified at the state capital, noting that “we can’t say enough about her.” Scheevel added that then city administrator, Joe Hoffman also contributed to the success of this project. Many others also made trips to St. Paul to testify before committees.
