Middletown WTC
Memorial Gardens
The Middletown WTC Memorial Gardens are located at 36 Church Street, Middletown, NJ 07748. The memorial features a landscaped walking path with individual memorials for each neighbor murdered, where visitors can reflect on the loss Middletown suffered. The Gardens are open daily from dawn to dusk.
"Fun" may not be what you might always want to call it. Sometimes "sheer terror" is a better description. Others might prefer to use the words "pain" and/or "frustration".
