A place for the public to gather, learn and celebrate veterans
Heroes Hall is a free, year-round museum and education center. It is dedicated to honoring the legacy of Orange County veterans and all who have served our nation. Heroes Hall brings their stories to life through dynamic exhibitions and educational programs such as the speaker series.
Located in a restored 1942 Santa Ana Army Air Base (SAAB) barracks, the museum features 3,600 square feet of rotating exhibits. The exhibits are designed thematically to highlight personal experiences of veterans. The Medal of Honor Courtyard and Walk of Honor provide an additional 5,000 square feet of space ideal for events and gatherings. You can rent this venue for an event.
If you have a school group or organization, you can schedule a docent-led tour. You can also explore their virtual museum that contains primary sources with the stories. If you are a service member, consider sharing your story with the museum.
