Planning your visit to the Flight 93 Temporary Memorial causes many questions to arise during trip planning.  We have attempted to answer some of the more frequently asked questions here.

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.) What will I see when I visit Flight 93 National Memorial?
A temporary memorial site has been established on a hilltop overlooking the place where Flight 93 crashed on September 11, 2001. Here visitors may gaze over the grassy fields, visually following the flight path of the plane to the crash site, an area now planted with grass and enclosed by a fence. In excess of 125,000 visitors come to this temporary memorial each year.

At this memorial, visitors see wooden benches inscribed with the names of the passenger and crew members, flagpoles, and a 40’ long fence which has become a collage of flowers, flags, handwritten messages, artwork, and tributes of every description. Volunteers staff the site for 40-60 hours per week to answer visitors’ questions, provide driving directions, and simply provide a human point of contact for the thousands of visitors who come to the site each week.
