Memorial Day Ceremony

Join the Heard Museum in Honoring Our Heroes this Memorial Day

On Memorial Day, we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country with a day of art, music, and remembrance. Start your day at the Heard’s American Indian Veterans National Memorial — the first in the nation — then explore museum exhibitions, film, and sculpture gardens before you head into Steele Auditorium to enjoy live music, engaging family activities, and Veteran artists demonstrating and sharing their artworks.
