9/11 National Memorial Trail, local connection at 13 Canal Street, Cumberland, MD

"The 9/11 National Memorial Trail is currently a patchwork of 55% off-road trails and 45% existing roadways that connect the three 9/11 memorial sites - The World Trade Center in New York City; the Pentagon in Arlington, Va.; and the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, Pa. The trail provides a continuous loop between the three sites, serving as a tribute to the fallen heroes of 9/11 and the many who have served active duty in the response missions thereafter. The trail is open to walkers, runners, and cyclists, offering beautiful scenery, new towns to explore, and historic sites along the way. The trail is supported by the nonprofit September 11th National Memorial Trail Alliance and was officially designated as a National Memorial Trail by signature of President Joe Biden on October 13, 2021."
