Each tour group is guided by a VVMF staff member through the Mobile Education Center and The Wall. That tour plus allowing time to ask questions of the guide, lasts approximately 40-45 minutes. Tours can be shortened slightly to accommodate group/class schedules.
The 53-foot trailer that carries The Wall That Heals transforms to become a mobile Education Center. The exterior of the trailer features a timeline of “The War and The Wall” and provides additional information about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Additional exhibits give visitors a better understanding of the legacy of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the collection of items left at The Wall.
