VIETNAM WAR
1964 - 1975
This monument recognizes the men and women
who served our country in the Vietnam war and
those who supported them.
No visit to Arcadia would be complete without a tour of our beautiful 54 acre Memorial Park and its unique tribute to veterans of all wars and conflicts. Stroll along Avenue of Heroes, which is handicap accessible, to witness exceptional memorial statues of the fighting men and women who gave so generously for the freedom we enjoy today. It is an experience you will not find anywhere else, other than on a trip to Washington DC.
The walk is laid out as a time line depicting the history of Arcadia since 1856. Each one meter block represents one year in history. The walk begins near the rotunda at the west end of the park. It is 1856 and Arcadia has just been established as a community.
Walking east, you can follow the development of Arcadia through granite blocks placed in the walkway. A number of flower planters have been placed in the walk. Each one designates a war or conflict in which the United States was involved. The newest addition to the park is a large amphitheater that will host summer band concerts.
