The World War II Memorial Plaza stands out with its striking 50-foot “Freedom Flame” and walkway chronicling major wartime events, along with an integrated Pearl Harbor tribute dedicated in 1991. Additional features include the Liberty Bell replica gifted in 1950 to recognize Iowa’s wartime bond efforts and various commemorative trees, benches, cannons, and modern sculptures that collectively tell the story of Iowa’s contributions and values across generations.
