Our History



In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, Wisconsin chose to develop a series of county hospitals and two state hospitals. In 1898, Trempealeau County officials made a decision to build a county “asylum” and start a farm to provide service to mentally ill, intellectually disabled, and alcohol and drug dependent persons. This was the beginning of what is known today as the Trempealeau County Health Care Center system.
