This is a completely free memorial park to visit that is worth your short trip off of I-95 to visit if you're in the area or just passing through. You can spend as little as a 1/2 hour here or you could spend an afternoon, that part is up to you. This place is beautiful and the stonework and memorial layout was long overdue but worth the wait. I try to make an annual visit to this beautiful memorial that has a personal spot in my heart. Over the last two visits I have been so disheartened to see how badly certain sections of the memorial are already deteriorating after only 4-5 years of being open. The mortar used in many places is leaching out from rain/snow and is leaving limestone and is staining many different areas of the memorial. The big bulletin board that shows the timeline is also fogging over and it is hard to read some of the items under the board. Lastly, the etched letters into the stairways have paint that is already peeling off after such little time having passed. I would think that these kind of things would look good for a longer length of time. I am not sure if this is the result of shoddy workmanship or environmental conditions, but it is real shame. The whole memorial could also use a good pressure washing. This place is beautiful. If there is a maintenance fund to donate to, someone please advise because I'd like to do my part to keep this place looking as nice as it looked when it first opened. Lastly, perhaps a survivor or someone involved with the memorial can answer a question that I have that I didn't see answered at the memorial. For most victims, a picture and a birth date of that person is provided. However, there are people who's pictures were not provided who were given a music note as a picture with their birth date and there are even a couple of people who's birth dates are not even provided? Are these people for which pictures could not be obtained or did their families not want to participate? To those who made the memorial possible: you're angels. This is so beautiful. Please help me direct a donation for you to help keep it nice, it needs some TLC.
