In the peaceful town of Khe Sanh, Huong Hoa District, Quang Tri Province, lies a place where history breathes in every breeze the Khe Sanh War Museum. Built on the grounds of the former Ta Con Airfield, this museum honors one of the most intense battles of the Vietnam War, the legendary Khe Sanh Campaign of 1968 often remembered as “the second Dien Bien Phu.”
Today, the site is both a memorial and a living classroom, allowing visitors to step back in time and witness Vietnam’s courage in the face of unimaginable adversity.
A journey through the echoes of history

Khe Sanh War Museum
The Khe Sanh War Museum sits within a spacious, green campus that recreates part of the historic battlefield. The main exhibition hall, Route 9 – Khe Sanh, is the heart of the museum, housing hundreds of artifacts, photographs and documents that tell the story of the fierce 77-day siege.
Inside, visitors can trace the unfolding of the battle – maps detailing strategic moves, soldier uniforms, personal letters and relics left behind on the field. Each exhibit piece captures not just the violence of war but also the unwavering determination that defined the Vietnamese spirit.
Step outside and you’ll be greeted by an open-air exhibition area filled with life-sized war remnants: American aircraft, tanks and heavy artillery – all preserved as silent witnesses to a time when the skies above Khe Sanh were thick with smoke and courage. Against the backdrop of misty hills and lush greenery, the contrast between peace and past struggle becomes profoundly moving.

Between remembrance and renewal
Visiting Khe Sanh War Museum isn’t merely about learning history – it’s about feeling it. The quiet landscape, once scarred by war, now hums with life again. Birds nest in trees that once hid soldiers and children play where planes once landed. The transformation of this land from a battlefield to a peaceful cultural site mirrors the resilience of Vietnam itself – a country that rebuilds, heals and grows stronger through every challenge.
Nearby, visitors can explore the broader heritage trail of Quang Tri: the Hien Luong Bridge on the Ben Hai River, the Vinh Moc Tunnels and the Quang Tri Ancient Citadel – each marking a milestone in Vietnam’s long journey toward unity and peace.
And while in Khe Sanh, don’t miss the chance to taste Central Vietnam’s rustic cuisine. Dishes like cháo bột Quang Tri (rice porridge with shrimp and pork), bánh bột lọc (tapioca dumplings) and freshly grilled mountain fish are humble yet rich in flavor – a reflection of the region’s authenticity and warmth.
