9/11 Remembered Through a Steel Beam | Oklahoma City News

Twenty-five years after 9/11, a museum in Hobart, Oklahoma, holds the largest surviving artifact from that day—a 14-foot, 3,000-pound steel beam from the World Trade Center. More than just a relic, the exhibit at the General Tommy Franks Leadership Institute uses immersive media to convey the horror, hatred, and human cost of the attacks—especially for younger generations who weren’t there. It also chronicles the military response led by General Franks, an Oklahoman who commanded U.S. Central Command, culminating in the Afghanistan campaign. The museum’s mission? To honor real lives lost, ensure history isn’t forgotten, and inspire reflection. Free admission, open Monday–Saturday, invites all to walk through this pivotal chapter of American history.
