Gilbert, Arizona is home to a powerful 9/11 Memorial that pays tribute to the lives lost and recognizes the strength of our nation during the worst act of terrorism on American soil on September 11th, 2001.

9/11 Memorial - 2020 Vertical

A beam that once held up the North Tower of the World Trade Center now rests at Gilbert's 9/11 Memorial Plaza. It gives all a place to pause, touch, and remember; to feel united again and thankful for our fragile liberty.

This outdoor memorial is open to the public any time, day or night.
