City Attractions

Boulevard of Flags

The Boulevard of 500 Flags started as a memorial to local veterans. After 911, a section was dedicated to honor those who fell that day. It includes 2 beams from the Trade Center, part of a lamp post, and granite pieces from the lobby.

The monument also includes a piece of granite from the Pentagon along with soil and earth from Shanksville, PA.

The 500 flags here represent all local veterans and presently 1,000 names are attached to the 500 flagstaffs. Flags fly at half-staff for those killed in action.

An eternal flame burns here to commemorate the arrival of the Olympic Torch in 1996.
