About the Exhibit
A Monument That Travels to You
The Wall That Heals is a three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC. As it travels to communities across the country, it brings with it a mobile Education Center that shares the history, stories, and personal impact of the Vietnam War.
