The Wall That Heals: A Honorable Visit to Person County

Person County is deeply honored to host The Wall That Heals, an exceptional exhibit made possible by the collaboration with the Person Veterans Council. This unique display features a three-quarter scale replica of the renowned Vietnam Veterans Memorial located in Washington, D.C., offering a profound opportunity for reflection and remembrance.

The Wall That Heals Exhibit

The replica of The Wall is an impressive 375 feet in length and reaches a height of 7.5 feet at its tallest point. As visitors walk towards the apex, they will experience the powerful design intended by the original monument, where The Wall seems to rise majestically above them. This design element is a crucial aspect of the memorial in Washington, D.C., allowing visitors to connect more deeply with the monument's symbolism and meaning.

Mobile Education Center

Complementing The Wall is a mobile education center, housed in a 53-foot trailer that accompanies the exhibit. This trailer transforms into an informative space, offering a timeline titled "The War and The Wall," which provides visitors with deeper insights into the Vietnam Veterans Memorial's history and significance. This educational component enriches the experience, making it not only a moment of reflection but also an opportunity for learning.

Additional Exhibits

The mobile education center includes several additional exhibits that enhance visitors' understanding of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial's enduring legacy:

  • Hometown Heroes
  • In Memory Honor Roll
  • Replica of the In Memory Plaque
  • Items Left Behind
