“The New Hampshire Veterans Heritage Learning Center offers a robust, creative, and interactive educational environment for students and the public to learn about the selfless service and sacrifice of our NH military veterans and their vital role in all aspects of our nation’s distinguished military history.”
The Veterans Heritage Learning Center, designed in 2015 and opened on November 11, 2018, honors our veterans by highlighting the military history of New Hampshire and the veterans who bravely served the country. The center has a range of exhibits that provide an immersive learning experience for visitors.

The VHLC is multi-functional, where the portable display walls and footlocker seating can be moved to accommodate various meeting needs, including a traditional classroom configuration. The VHLC has integrated educational learning objectives for teachers and students visiting the Cemetery & Learning Center. The State of New Hampshire owns the building in which the Veterans Heritage Learning Center resides.
The New Hampshire Veterans Cemetery Association is responsible for planning any improvements to infrastructure as well as supporting operations that benefit the Cemetery. Once a project is approved by the State, the NH Veterans Cemetery Association is responsible for raising funds from the private sector to support enhancements and programs. Veterans Heritage Learning Center is intended to have a ‘flexible schedule’ and have staff available to support the maintenance and development of operations, programs, and group visits. Visitors to the Cemetery, including over 600 students annually, currently learn about and make personal connections with the over 10,700 NH veterans and family members buried on the grounds.
Programming and operations for the VHLC are supported through donations to the VHLC and an endowment fund to sustain operations. In 2023, the NHVCA hired a part-time VHLC administrator to help us attract and increase student and educational group visits to the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery each year. The Veterans Heritage Learning Center was officially opened to the public on November 11, 2018, to coincide with the 100th Anniversary of Veterans Day. Individuals, families, businesses, and foundations generously contributed to this campaign in a variety of ways allowing us to exceed our fundraising goals.
