Flight 93 National Memorial
A national memorial honoring the passengers and crew of Flight 93 on September 11. The crash field, name wall and the solemn 'Tower of Voices' are deeply moving.
On September 11, 2001, the passengers and crew of Flight 93 resisted the hijackers, and the plane eventually crashed into a field near Shanksville. The memorial includes exhibits at the visitor center, observation platforms along the flight path, a white marble wall inscribed with the names of the 40 victims, and at the entrance the 93-foot 'Tower of Voices', which holds 40 wind chimes. Entry is free, and a visit takes about 2 hours. The memorial is about 1.5 hours' drive from Pittsburgh and can be combined with a visit to Fallingwater.
