This art and World Trade Center memorial was designed and produced by Ryan Barbour of Barrel House Metal and Woodworks of Clarksville, TN in 2018. It is located at the Lewis Country Store in the Scottsboro area of Nashville at the intersection of the Ashland City Highway (TN12) and Old Hickory Blvd.
More notes as written on the plaque:
These two exact 1:136.8 scale replicas as constructed from 397 individual pieces of metal totaling 2,908.65 linear feet of mild steel. When illuminated at night, "10:28" will appear at the top of WTC 1 and "9:59" will appear at the top of WTC 2; indicating the times each tower fell. Above WTC 2, 2,977 will appear representing the total number of those who lost their lives on September 11th, 2001 (not including the 19 pieces of trash who perpetrated the attacks).
This memorial is dedicated to the 2,977 people who lost their lives on that infamous day, the first responders who saved countless lives, and the brave members of our military who have relentlessly pursued justice.
