The Story of the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

A New Exhibit at the Vermont Marble Museum
Opening Memorial Day 2010

Honoring the fallen of America’s wars, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery is an icon to which many travel to pay their respects.

Coming this summer, the Vermont Marble Museum will offer the fascinating story of the creation of this shrine, from the quarrying of the block of pure white marble to the carving in Proctor, and final delivery by rail to Arlington Memorial Cemetery. Upon entering the display, visitors will find fascinating documents and photography from the design of the Tomb, murals depicting the progress of the work, and an amphitheatre-like setting in which they can watch a video history of the project, including a glimpse into the modern-day Changing of the Guard Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington, VA.

This all new exhibit opens on May 31, 2010. To learn more, call Cathy Miglorie at the museum, 800-427-1396 or send an email thetomb@vermont-marble.com.
