A place where 168 people died could easily be rebuilt as one vast cemetery, but those who designed the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum chose a gentler and far more hopeful path. The Outdoor Symbolic Memorial, spanning the downtown block where the April 19, 1995, terror bombing occurred, has been widely recognized as perhaps the most hopeful and unique memorial site in the United States. From a peaceful field of lighted chairs, across a shallow Reflecting Pool to the sturdy Survivor Tree, the Memorial?s outdoor sections create a sense of calm assurance. As an affiliate of the National Park System, the Oklahoma City National Memorial is owned, operated and maintained by the Oklahoma City National Memorial Foundation.
