Celebrating its fourth anniversary, the Purple Heart Plaza was created to be a community gathering area in the heart of Henderson’s historic Downtown Water Street District.
The Plaza features the nationally recognized Purple Heart Monument and a donor brick program that allows the public to purchase engraved pavers to honor someone who has served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
In January 2014, the City of Henderson became Nevada’s first Purple Heart city.
