The VFW was founded in June of 1936 for the men. The Women's Auxiliary came along ten years later in 1946.

Our VFW 3494 boast to be the oldest post in Richland County. We have also received state and national recognition for membership.

Our home of 853 Ashland Road in Mansfield is where we have resided since 1953. Through the years we have made several improvements to the facility and have a wonderful hall that is available for rent.

There are over 100,000 VFW members in the state of Ohio with 290 of them being with Post 3494. Our life members make up 208 of those.
