Montgomery County's September 11 memorial has moved to its new home. 

The 18-foot structure, which is made with a steel beam recovered from the rubble of the World Trade Center's North Tower, has been located in Eagleville since 2021.

Now it's completed a 7-mile journey to its new home in Elmwood Park in Norristown. On Tuesday morning, the memorial received a police motorcycle escort, passing under multiple fire truck ladders hoisting the American flag.

The monument was commissioned in 2003 and installed at the Montgomery County Courthouse in 2005.
