Oklahoma City National Memorial – Gates of Time and Survivor Tree

The outdoor Oklahoma City National Memorial features the bronze Gates of Time, deliberately set to frame 9:02 a.m., the moment of the April 19, 1995 bombing, with the east and west gates marked 9:01 and 9:03 a.m. The site preserves the 'Survivor Tree,' a Callery pear that endured the blast and has been propagated as a living symbol of resilience. The adjacent museum documents the bombing, its victims, rescuers, and the city's recovery.
