Spring “Vets & Guitars” 2026
Veterans are invited to sign up for the Spring “Vets & Guitars” program, featuring beginning and continuing acoustic guitar lessons. We supply the instruments and basic supplies.
Art and music programs are evidence-based tools that help Veterans who are managing PTSD. The Vets & Guitars classes are a great experience to share with other Veterans. This program is offered to military Veterans free of charge.
Lessons start on Thursday, March 19!
Classes will meet every Thursday evening for 10 sessions (for the most part).
Beginning Acoustic Guitar (chords): 4:30-5:30pm
Continuing Acoustic Guitar (notes): 6-7pm (for Veterans who have completed the beginner’s course)
Instructor: Victoria Shoemaker of the band “Virginia Steel” (FB: virginiasteelmusic)
Class location: The Highground Welcome Center (W7031 Ridge Rd, Neillsville, WI 54456)
Veterans, please sign up early! To register or for more information, please send an email to museum@thehighground.org or call Theresa at 715-743-4224.
These lessons are free for Veterans because of the generosity of our sponsors. It takes $150 to sponsor a Veteran.

This program is made possible by a grant from the WDVA and our generous sponsors, Lawrence Kizewski & Charlotte Hense.
