Wreaths Across America - Crown Hill Cemetery

09/10/2026

We encourage everyone to attend tomorrow’s Remembrance Ceremony tomorrow at 6:30pm hosted by Caroline Scott Harrison Chapter, NSDAR, Indiana War Memorials & more.

Friday, September 11th, 2026, will mark the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that occurred in Manhattan, the Pentagon and Shanksville, PA.

Indiana limestone was used in the original construction of the Pentagon, and following the attacks, Indiana limestone was also used to repair the facade. A sample of limestone from the original building is on display at the Indiana War Memorial, demonstrating Indiana's enduring role in the wake of a devastating tragedy.

Commemorate this historic anniversary by visiting the Indiana War Memorial and Museum and the 9/11 Monument to honor those who lost their lives as a result of the attacks on 9/11/2001 and those who answered the call and served in the conflicts that followed.

Please visit the Indiana 9/11 Memorial, established in 2010 and expanded in 2021, to honor those who perished in the 9/11 attacks, 25 years ago tomorrow, and the United States service members who have lost their lives since in the War on Terror.

The Indiana 9/11 Memorial is located at 421 W. Ohio Street on the Canal.

On this day in 1863, the 54th Massachusetts made infamous by books and the move Glory, fought at Battery Wagner in South Carolina. Milton Robinson - a veteran of that battle & the 54th - permanently resides in Section 9 of Crown Hill Funeral Home & Cemetery. After surviving the battle and the rest of the war, he returned to Indianapolis and worked as a gardener and laborer.
