Events Calendar
Throughout the year, the National Veterans Memorial and Museum schedule events that honor and celebrate the contributions of our nation’s Veterans. This calendar can help you plan your visit around a holiday or other special event.
From service animals to household companions, animals are shown to reduce stress and positively impact overall health in humans. Starting on Wednesday, October 20, we welcome guests with service animals to join us inside the Museum for our upcoming Pets for Vets week. You and your service animal will receive a free goodie bag upon arrival!
This free community event is open to the public and includes several adoption opportunities from local shelters and animal welfare organizations. We always welcome well-behaved service animals trained to assist visitors with disabilities during their Museum visit.

Memorial Grove
Directly adjacent to the Museum lies a 2.5 acre Memorial Grove, designed for contemplation and reflection before visitors return to their everyday lives. Anchored by a grove of elm trees, the space features a 325-foot stone wall, with three cascades of water and a reflecting pool lining the basin, creating a cohesive space for remembrance, inspiration and the recognition of service.
