Current Local History Exhibit

"Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the End of the Vietnam War" is our newest exhibit as we continue HCPL's Resilient Voices series.

Located in the original Carnegie Library, patrons will view military uniforms and equipment used by our local Vietnam era veterans. Explore the history of the war, examine a replica Tiger Cage that housed prisoners of the Viet Cong, and reflect on those from Henderson County who gave their all.
