===============================================================
THE MEMORIAL
The Outside Symbolic Memorial is scared soil. A place of quiet reflection where hope begins to grow anew. It stands on the now-sacred ground where the events of April 19, 1995, unfolded. What was once the footprint of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, Fifth Street, the Athenian Building and Oklahoma Water Resources Board are now the Field of Empty Chairs, Reflecting Pool, and Rescuers’ Orchard.
“Must Visit”
Museum comment: I had no idea of the magnitude of the bombing. Museum does a very good job taking you through details of the events that happened and showing the resiliency of the residents. A must visit for anyone visiting and especially anyone moving to the city.
Gate of Time
These monumental twin gates frame the moment of destruction – 9:02 AM – and mark the formal entrances to the Memorial. The 9:01 Gate represents the innocence before the attack. The 9:03 Gate symbolizes the moment healing began.
Vehicles will be allowed to park inside the DAD closed gate: first come first serve basis. You may park your vehicles by the next-door church.
