The wall will be open to the public for viewing from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on the aforementioned dates at the Magnolia Apostolic Church/First Baptist Church grounds, 18525 FM 1488.
This marks the second time the traveling wall has come to Texas, said Beverly Tucker, who was instrumental in bringing the wall to Magnolia. The first appearance of the wall in Texas was in November 2010 in Crosby, she said. Tucker visited the wall in Crosby and was determined to bring it to Magnolia.
"When I saw it, I decided that we had to have it come to Magnolia," she said. "I met with someone and figured out how to get the wall to come to Magnolia and was told that it might be a couple of years. I was thrilled to be able to get it when we did, the weekend of Veterans Day."
