This 2,200-pound beam, salvaged from the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York, serves as the centerpiece of the Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial & Education Center in Kewaskum. Work is now underway to raise $4 million for an indoor museum at the site.
Gordon Haberman, who lost his 25-year-old daughter, Andrea, in the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001, walks past a red granite stone engraved in her memory at the Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial & Education Center in Kewaskum. Andrea was on the 92nd floor of the North Tower when it was struck by a hijacked airliner.
Gordon Haberman was walking through an airport hangar in New York filled with debris and artifacts from the World Trade Center in 2010 when he learned this 2,200-pound piece of steel was available for a memorial. It arrived in Kewaskum in 2014 and in 2021 became the centerpiece of the Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial & Education Center.
A plaque honoring the victims of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and those who died in a plane crash near Shanskville, Pennsylvania, in 2001 serves as part of the educational component of the Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial & Education Center in Kewaskum.
In the last few weeks, a monument was added to the Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial & Education Center that lists the names of the 18 people with Wisconsin ties who died in the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
