Tri-Municipal 9/11 Ceremony Moved Indoors
Organizers said it was due to the weather forecast. The "Reaching Through the Shadow" sundial is worth seeing - another time.
CROTON-ON-HUDSON, NY — The Tri-Municipal 9/11 ceremony, an annual event, has been moved to the Harmon Firehouse due to the forecast for inclement weather, organizers announced.
The event will be at the Harmon Firehouse, 30 Wayne St. in Croton, instead of at the "Reaching Through the Shadow" Memorial at Croton Landing Park.
The all-volunteer BCC 9/11 Task Force began planning, creating and building the memorial in 2009. It was dedicated in 2016 and turned over to the villages of Buchanan and Croton-on-Hudson and the town of Cortlandt.

It is a functioning sundial with nine bronze medallions serving as the hour markers (from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) which also depict the searing events of that day. The World Trade Center steel beam from the North Tower performs as the gnomon of the sundial, which is registered with the North American Sundial Society.
It can be reached via the Croton Riverwalk, a quarter-mile north of the parking lot at the north end of Elliott Way.
