9/11 Memorial

The memorial includes pieces of the World Trade Center towers.

A lengthy, engraved plaque explains that the two steel beams were driven from New York City to Giddings in 2011, "draped in an American Flag for the entire journey." The memorial is mounted on a concrete base shaped like the Pentagon.
