Heroes Hall Museum
Located in Costa Mesa, California, Heroes Hall is a new museum dedicated to America's fallen heroes. The museum includes an outdoor courtyard and a centerpiece designed to resemble a Congressional Medal of Honor. Awarded for personal acts of valor and gallantry, this award is the highest honor given by the U.S. military. When finished, the Heroes Hall will be open for public viewing and free of charge.
Sculptures, including the California Scenario by Isamu Noguchi, are displayed throughout the building. This installation measures over 1.6 acres and features several innovative plants and designs. Visitors can enjoy live performances at the theater and learn more about the history of the United States. Afterwards, they can shop at several other local boutiques and shops for unique treasures. For children, there's the Lost & Found Vintage Flea Market.
