Hosting The Wall That Heals

Since 1996, The Wall That Heals has visited more than 350 cities and towns throughout the United States and has also visited Canada and Ireland, spreading its healing message to millions. VVMF’s goal is to install the exhibition in sites that provide an atmosphere as similar to The Wall in Washington, D.C. as possible.

VVMF seeks sites that can provide a welcoming, quiet atmosphere big enough to accommodate the three main components of The Wall That Heals.

The Wall Replica: half scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C., approximately 250 feet in length.

The Traveling Museum: When emptied, the 53-foot trailer that carries The Wall replica becomes a museum.

The Information Center: A 20’ x 20’ white canvas tent, attached to the trailer, serves as an Information Center.

Although the schedule may change depending upon travel needs, typically The Wall That Heals arrives on Wednesday morning for set-up, is open to the public from Thursday – Sunday and is taken down on Monday morning. Before, during, and after each site, VVMF works with hosting organizations developing programs and events to transform The Wall That Heals five day visit into a lasting impact on communities.  

In partnering VVMF requests hosting organizations:

 

  • Provide a site, open to the public 24 hours a day
  • Secure volunteers to help visitors
  • Arrange events around The Wall That Heals visit
  • Promote the event throughout the community
  • VVMF also requests hosts provide a $5,000 honorarium and a per diem for the two site managers who accompany The Wall That Heals, while it is in the community.

VVMF thanks the 2013 Tour Sponsors for keeping site honoraruims minimal
