A guided tour of the Memorial and Museum offers visitors of all ages unique opportunities to hear first-hand accounts and perspectives about the Vietnam War and Era.

Since 1998, we have hosted thousands of groups from across the region.

Tours are available for adult, college, youth, and scout groups and can be customized to include just the Memorial, the Museum, or both, tailored to fit each group’s needs.

Led by Vietnam Veteran tour guides, these group tours offer a unique opportunity to hear firsthand accounts and personal perspectives on the Vietnam War and Era. Visitors gain a deeper understanding of this tumultuous time from those who lived it.

Our guides, many of whom are retired educators from across the state, enhance the tour experience with personal stories, photographs, and artifacts. Most visitors find the highlight of their tour is connecting with a veteran who shares their own story, providing a more profound appreciation of this history.

View our Veterans sharing their experiences.

What You Can Expect:

Guided tours must be arranged prior to your visit.

Tours are approximately 2 hours long, but can be expanded up to 3.5 hours. We are very flexible and can work with your schedule and needs. Tours can be customized to any age group and learning level.

Please be advised that from March through June we are very busy working with regional students, so guided tours for larger groups may be more difficult to arrange during these months.

Tours for other groups including adults, college, youth, and scouts can be arranged by special appointment. These tours can be tailored to include just the Memorial or Museum.
