Forecourt and Visitor Shelter

A gateway to the Memorial Plaza, the forecourt and visitor shelter mark the approach toward the crash site and landscape that serves as final resting place for the passengers and crew. The forecourt hosts six outdoor signs that share the September 11, 2001 story of Flight 93. The shelter provides a location for visitors to leave messages, ask park rangers or volunteers questions, and temporarily escape inclement weather.

Visitor Shelter is open to the public. There are passports, message cards, brochures, and Junior Ranger booklets available inside the Visitor Shelter when open to the public.
