Flight 93 National Memorial park
Flight 93 National Memorial
There are many good reasons to visit the Flight 93 National Memorial. It is an opportunity to pay respects to the brave individuals who sacrificed their lives to protect others. It also offers visitors a chance to learn about the events of September 11, 2001, and the heroism that was displayed.
The memorial includes several points of interest. The Visitor Center is the starting point for visitors and provides an overview of the events of September 11, 2001. The Memorial Plaza is a large open space with a wall of names inscribed with the names of the passengers and crew members. The Tower of Voices is a 93-foot-tall structure with 40 wind chimes, one for each of the passengers and crew members.
Interesting facts about the Flight 93 National Memorial include that it covers 2,200 acres and was dedicated on September 10, 2011, ten years after the attacks. The design of the memorial was chosen through an international competition that received over 1,000 entries.
The best time of year to visit the Flight 93 National Memorial is from May through October when the weather is mild and the memorial is fully operational. However, the memorial is open year-round, and visitors can access certain areas during the winter months.
Park & land designation reference
A quick legend for the federal and state land categories Snoflo tracks. Each designation comes with different rules around access, recreation, and resource extraction.
- National Park
- Large protected natural areas managed by the federal government to preserve significant landscapes, ecosystems, and cultural resources; recreation is allowed but conservation is the priority.
- State Park
- Public natural or recreational areas managed by a state government, typically smaller than national parks and focused on regional natural features, recreation, and education.
- Local Park
- Community-level parks managed by cities or counties, emphasizing recreation, playgrounds, sports, and green space close to populated areas.
- Wilderness Area
- The highest level of land protection in the U.S.; designated areas where nature is left essentially untouched, with no roads, structures, or motorized motorized access permitted.
- National Recreation Area
- Areas set aside primarily for outdoor recreation (boating, hiking, fishing, often around reservoirs, rivers, or scenic landscapes); may allow more development.
- National Conservation Area (BLM)
- BLM-managed areas with special ecological, cultural, or scientific value; more protection than typical BLM land but less strict than Wilderness Areas.
- State Forest
- State-managed forests focused on habitat, watershed, recreation, and sustainable timber harvest.
- Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Land
- Vast federal lands managed for mixed use -- recreation, grazing, mining, conservation -- with fewer restrictions than national parks or forests.
