In addition to the Heartland Plein Air Festival, the RHCD is currently fundraising for the new Eternal Flame Veterans’ Memorial, which will be located at the 5-Point Intersection. While final details are still being discussed, the memorial will serve as the centerpiece of the Eternal Flame Plaza in front of City Hall.

In addition to site grading designed to better accommodate community events, the Plaza will feature six benches and six corresponding flagpoles representing the six branches of the United States Armed Forces. At the center of this open circular space, a tall eternal flame will stand as a lasting tribute to the sacrifices of our military service members and their families throughout history.
