The Wall That Heals Video, Timeline & More

Franklinton will be among the first to host this exhibit which includes a three-quarter scale Wall replica that is 375 feet in length and stands 7.5 feet high at its tallest point, which is a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., along with a mobile Education Center. The exhibits tell the story of the Vietnam War, The Wall and the era surrounding the conflict, and are designed to put American experiences in Vietnam in a historical and cultural context.
