Seven years after the events of September 11, 2001, an Acton memorial site was dedicated using two pieces of the iron structure of the Twin Towers. The memorial was placed on Main Street in front of the Public Safety Building in memory of the two Acton residents who lost their lives that day. The site consists of an iron sculpture surrounded by a brick walk area and garden. Each element of the design represents the flight of one of the aircraft involved that day. The garden area represents Flight 93 and the meadow near Shanksville, PA.

The Garden Club was asked if its members could help restore and assist in maintaining the garden area around the site. A group was formed to make an assessment of the site. A work day was then spent raking, weeding, transplanting, trimming and edging the area. Members will periodically return to do additional improvements and tending to keep the area well cared for.
