On September 11, 2001, the United States
was attacked by cowards who do not understand our lifestyle, our freedom,
or our democracy. Over 3000 were killed. This garden and trail
has been built as a reminder of what took place on 9/11.
Entering the memorial from the driveway you walk through a trail of hanging plants. |
 |
Your first glimpse of the trail. |
 |
In this box is an alphabetical listing of everyone killed
on 9/11.
The sculpture to the right is called "Migration" by Athens artist Harold Rittenberry. |

The trail is an oval and is almost 300 yards long. There are 99 poles in the garden. (9 x 11 = 99). Names of everyone killed on September 11 are on the poles. The names on the poles are not in alphabetical order. They are in random order, showing each person as an individual. You can find a person's name and where they are located in the garden in the box at the beginning of the trail. |
