The Wall That Heals is a ¾-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., along with a Mobile Education Center. It honors the more than 3 million Americans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during the Vietnam War, and the 58,281 men and women whose names are engraved on the Wall.
The traveling exhibit visits communities across America, giving all who cannot make the journey to Washington the opportunity to experience the Wall and its profound impact. The exhibit is free and open to the public 24 hours a day.
This fall, Putnam, Connecticut is proud to host The Wall That Heals at Murphy Park — September 10–13, 2026.
