20 years ago, life in our country changed. Even in the quaint village of Ballston Spa had a new perspective on life. To commemorate the event, Ballston Spa created the 9/11 Memorial Garden, next door to Village Hall. The Memorial, complete with a section of the subway track that ran under the Twin Towers, is a treasured part of the Ballston Spa community.
