President Ho Chi Minh Memorial House (My Duc)

The President Ho Chi Minh Memorial House was started in 2016 and completed in 2024 on an area of 7,866 m², including:

• The Ho Chi Minh Worship House – the heart of the memorial site: It is a 3-story building with 12 roofs and an area of 590 m2. The house has a concrete frame structure, tiled roof, and wood-look paint.

In the center is the altar of President Ho Chi Minh; above the ceremonial curtain is a horizontal plaque engraved with his immortal saying: “Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom.” On both sides of the altar are a pair of parallel sentences praising his qualities and great heart:

“For the country and the people, one loyal heart remains immortal with the nation for all time

Complete in loyalty and filial duty, like the sun and moon enduring with the Fatherland for a thousand years”

Above the altar is a bronze statue of Uncle Ho in a seated position.

• Traditional house area: includes 2 rows of houses with 22 compartments displaying memorial artifacts, representing 22 communes and towns in the district. The house is built in ancient architecture with 12 compartments; 11 interconnected compartments form the main space of the house and the last compartment is the kitchen.

• Within the grounds of the President Ho Chi Minh Memorial House, there are also a guest house area, a bell tower, a four-pillar gate, a garden courtyard paved with blue stone, and a lighting system.

The President Ho Chi Minh Memorial House was built to commemorate the event when Uncle Ho visited and worked in Dai Nghia Commune, now Dai Nghia Town. He praised the local people, cadres, soldiers, elderly people, youth, and children of the district for their efforts in emulation in labor and production and their many outstanding achievements, and pointed out the shortcomings that needed correction. He said: Dai Nghia Commune has advantages that must be developed and shortcomings that must be vigorously corrected. To make more progress, Dai Nghia Commune needs to properly implement the Resolution of the Fifth Conference of the Party Central Committee on agricultural development in the first five-year plan.

That event is a source of pride and motivation not only for the people of Dai Nghia but also for the people of My Duc in general throughout the journey of building and protecting their homeland.

The Memorial House is not only a place that preserves precious artifacts but also a destination for younger generations to learn about history, patriotism, and valuable lessons from Uncle Ho.
