Do You Know Where Portland, Maine’s Inspiring 9/11 Memorial is Located?
If you are looking for a place to remember, honor, and reflect on the events of September 11, 2001, then the Portland 9/11 memorial may be the perfect place to go. The memorial is at Fort Allen Park on Portland's Eastern Promenade. Fort Allen Park, right on Casco Bay, has some of the most beautiful views in the entire world. The park is home to several memorials including the USS Portland Memorial, USS Maine Memorial Cannon, and the 9/11 Memorial.
The 9/11 Memorial was dedicated in 2003. There is also a memorial stone at the site with the names of seven Mainers who died from the September 11 attacks.
It's important to remember this fateful day, and not only the tragedy, but also the incredible heroism shown by so many. It's also important to remember how we all pulled together as a nation on that day. I think we sometimes wonder if we are capable of doing such a thing anymore; coming together as one people to fight and conquer incredible challenges. 9/11 showed that we can do that, and that alone is pretty inspiring.
Here's where you can find the 9/11 Memorial at Fort Allen Park.
