- The Vinton War Memorial was originally conceived as the centerpiece of an 11-acre memorial park that could be enjoyed by the living while honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country in World War II.
- A community committee began planning the Vinton War Memorial even before World War II had come to
an end.
- The park was finished in 1946, the swimming pool opened in 1947, and the two-story brick building was dedicated and opened to the public on August 20, 1948.
- Initially, the Vinton War Memorial included the town library, a kitchen, numerous meeting rooms, and
a ballroom.
- After an extensive renovation in 2007, the Vinton War Memorial is now the premier event venue in the Roanoke Valley. The new look honors the facility’s tradition and past while offering guests an exceptional opportunity to have a memorable event at this community landmark.
