Stoystown, PA
The memorial at the crash site of United Flight 93 on 11 September 2001, with a visitor center overlooking the field, the Wall of Names and the Tower of Voices. Free; allow about two hours.
Flight 93 National Memorial lies near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on roughly 2,200 acres (about 890 hectares) and commemorates the crash of United Flight 93 on September 11, 2001. The National Park Service looks after the memorial.
In the visitor center, exhibits tell the story of the day, including early news broadcasts and a timeline. A walkway follows the plane’s flight path and ends at an overlook with a view of the crash site in the distance. The crash site is preserved; white marble walls draw the eye toward the impact point. The Tower of Voices is 93 feet (about 28 m) tall and carries 40 wind chimes, one for each of the 40 passengers and crew members, each with its own tone.
Good to know: your navigation may send you to an unused entrance, so check the NPS directions beforehand. Check opening hours and current closures in advance.
