'''History'''
  
==History==

Opened in 1907 for the treatment of mild TB cases, this facility was bought by the state in 1921.  Sometime after the sale, the facility was merged with the Muirdale Sanatorium campus and the Blue Mound Sanatorium was converted into a Preventorium for the treatment and monitoring of children that may have been exposed to TB.
 
 
In 1922, Bluemound Sanatorium, a privately run institution for tubercular patients, was acquired by Milwaukee County and was operated as an annex for convalescing Muirdale patients. A year later it was redesignated a Children's Preventorium for the treatment of children between the ages of 4 and 14. It had a capacity of 136 beds. The County eventually closed this facility in 1939.
