Honoring All Who Served
The Arcadia Veterans Local History Room is a permanent exhibit space dedicated to veterans from the City of Arcadia. The exhibit honors veterans of all ages in all arenas.

We invite Arcadia's veterans to contribute to the pages of the Veteran's registry and Blue Star registry, which are on display.  Forms for the registry are available in the exhibit and below. Family Members of deceased veterans are also encouraged to participate.
