Harrington Avenue and Old Closter Dock Road

Closter, New Jersey

September 11th is a day of reflection, commemoration, hope and strength.

Following the tragedies of September 11, 2001, Closter’s memorial evolved as a group volunteer effort. This memorial represents the embodiment of cooperation and community.

The Closter 9/11 Memorial is located in a quiet, serene park setting allowing for reflection and remembrance.

Visitors will walk on a path leading to a 40-foot diameter blue-stone platform. A line of black granite will bisect the platform. At the center of the granite line is a 10-foot high archway. Together the line and the arch represent the two aspects of time before and after the event.

At exactly 8:46 am, the moment the first hijacked plane stuck the North Tower, shadows will align and sunlight will pass through an aperture in the dedication stone and shine on the inset piece of World Trade Center steel.

Beyond the 9-foot high black granite dedication stone that is inscribed with the date, September 11, 2001 and the words, “let our grief become strength, our remembrance hope, our unity an enlightened path toward peace” is the inset of steel laid in the floor of the monument.

We will never forget…

All are welcome to join our annual memorial
