PENN YAN, NY (WENY) -- A traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall is coming to the Finger Lakes region next summer.

The Yates County Veterans Service Agency announced The Wall that Heals is coming to Penn Yan in August of 2024. The Wall that Heals is a three-quarter size replica of the national Vietnam wall in Washington, DC.

The wall will be on continuous public display from August 8th through the 11th. It tours the country, along with a mobile education center - a 53 foot trailer that features a timeline of the war, and gives visitors a better understanding of the importance of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in our nation's capital.

The Wall that Heals isn't the only traveling Vietnam wall visiting the region next summer. The Moving Wall, a half-sizes replica of the national memorial, will be at Williamson High School in Tioga, Pennsylvania from July 11th through the 15th.
