About This Memorial

The Highground Veterans Memorial Park began in 1984 as the Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans Memorial Project and has grown into a 155-acre park honoring veterans. It features over 20 tributes including the Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans Memorial 'Fragments' and various honor stones for different conflicts. The memorial commemorates veterans from multiple wars, with specific tributes to Korean War, Persian Gulf War, and Vietnam War veterans. Notable elements include granite honor stones placed throughout the park and a museum preserving military history. As the nation's largest manned veterans park, it serves to honor, educate, and heal through its memorials and veteran programs. The Highground Veterans Memorial Park is a comprehensive tribute honoring American military service across multiple conflicts. Its notable features include the Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans Memorial 'Fragments', the Korean Veterans Memorial commemorating America's longest war, and the National Native American Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The park also contains tributes to WWII 'The Greatest Generation', WWI 'The Doughboy', and the Persian Gulf conflicts, along with unique elements like the Meditation Garden and Fountain of Tears honoring military families. The memorial complex serves as both a historical record and healing space, recognizing veterans, POWs/MIAs, and working dogs through various sculptures, stones, and symbolic installations.

"Such a beautiful spot and touching memorials. I go every year for the Wi DOC ceremony for Veterans Day. The sheer beauty of the area, mixed with the fresh air of the Northwoods and the monuments, make this a breathtaking experience. I am proud to be a veteran and proud of the highground."
