On September 11, 2001, our nation changed forever. Across Pennsylvania, the effects were immediate. In Philadelphia, fears of further attacks led to emergency measures as schools, businesses, and historic sites like the Liberty Bell closed.
In Somerset County, Pennsylvania, the passengers and crew of Flight 93 transformed a moment of terror into one of extraordinary courage.
These stories, along with countless others, are documented in our collection, which includes published works and newspapers reporting on the events and immediate aftermath. On this 25th anniversary, we reflect on the importance of preserving the memory of pivotal moments in American history.
