9/11 remembrance garden

They had a very nice garden at the corner of Transcon Lane and old 66 but they took it down some years ago as something was going to be done to the road there (it has never been done). They moved the beams from the WTC to a small park between 2nd and 3rd streets (Old Hwy 66-2nd goes east one way, 3rd goes west one way) and the beams are just standing there. There are plans to make a nice display but it has not been done yet.

This attraction is only about 2 miles from Standin' on the Corner Park (see my review of that attraction). The feeling at these two places is totally different. There's not much to see here, but what is here is remarkable and moving. When in Winslow, this is a place to pay your respect in memory of the horrific events of September 11, 2001.There are 2 rusted steel girders, 14 feet high and 15 feet high, along with a tattered flag. The plaque reads: These two steel beams from the World Trade Center entrusted to the citizens of Winslow by the City of New York, along with this flag that was flown at the Pentagon; stand as the centerpiece of our Remembrance Garden. The words "United We Stand" remind the world that we will not fear terrorism. We hereby dedicate this Garden to Northern Arizona's Promise that "WE WILL NEVER FORGET"
