The September 11 Memorial Walkway of Southern Illinois (the Memorial) is dedicated to the victims of the vicious attacks on America's freedom and ideals on September 11, 2001. It also recognizes the thousands who survived, and the remarkable compassion displayed in the aftermath, and still today.

Memorial Features

The Brick Paved Gathering Area is the entrance to the Memorial. It is the only location on site where donors are identified. The Walkway and Timeline of Events extend from the Memorial entrance to the artifact. The bronze plaques along the walkway chronicle the events of September 11, 2001. The Survivor Tree Seedling is a seedling produced from the fruit cultivated from a Callery pear tree found during the rescue and recovery process at the World Trade Center. The rescued tree, known as the Survivor Tree, was nurtured back to health and currently stands on the plaza at the 9/11 Memorial in New York. The Tribute to the Heroes of Flight 93 assimilates the Flight 93 crash site in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the Flight 93 National Memorial now stands. The World Trade Center Artifact is a 7,106.9 pound, 35.25 foot long steel column from the fallen World Trace Center in New York. It is supported by two concrete structures that are representative of the Twin Towers that once stood at the World Trade Center. The Artifact Plaza is a scale representation of the inner and outer rings of the Pentagon in Arlington, VA, which was also a target of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001.
