The Wall That Heals to Visit Crystal Springs

Crystal Springs, Mississippi, will soon host The Wall That Heals, a traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The exhibit, which honors the more than 58,000 men and women who gave their lives during the Vietnam War, will be on display from Thursday, November 13, through Sunday, November 16, 2025.

The event will take place at the Old Rogel Building on the corner of Highway 27 and 51 in Crystal Springs. Visitors will have the opportunity to view the three-quarter scale replica of the memorial wall, which stretches 375 feet in length and stands 7.5 feet high at its tallest point. Accompanying the wall is a mobile education center that provides additional insight into the history and impact of the Vietnam War.

Educational group tours will be available on November 13 and 14, giving students and community groups a meaningful opportunity to learn about the Vietnam War, its veterans, and the memorial’s significance. Educational tours are 46-60 minutes. Contact Cathy Stroud to book a tour by emailing her at  cathyrstroud@gmail.com. 

Local organizers are encouraging residents, schools, veterans, and families to attend the event. They emphasize that The Wall That Heals is not only a tribute to those who lost their lives but also a place of healing for veterans, their loved ones, and communities across the nation.

The exhibit will be open 24 hours a day during its stay in Crystal Springs, and admission is free.
