People naturally gathered here to watch and grieve the events of September 11, 2001, so it only makes sense that an evocative memorial to that event was erected here. There are also 400 acres of woodlands to one side of you — when you face them, it almost feels like you could look out over the trees forever.

It also became one of the first formal 9-11 memorials, and remains a poignant community gathering place to this day.
