Heroes Grove is part of Brightbill Park in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It's one of many beautiful parks that you'll find in Dauphin County. Within Brightbill Park you'll find ball fields, tennis courts, walking trails, the Heroes Grove Amphitheater, and more!
What some people don't know is that Heroes Grove is home to the B-26 Plane Crash on Blue Mountain Memorial. You'll find it near the amphitheater and concession building. We never knew it was there until we attending a concert last summer.
The memorial plaque gives you all kinds of information about the B-26 Plane Crash that occurred on April 22nd, 1951 along with the 2 heroes who died. They were stationed out of Ohio. The plaque includes information about each of the 2 servicemen along with the crash information.
If you're a history or military buff....you'll want to check it out. We never knew this memorial was there or anything about the crash and we've lived in the area for 35+ years! Always nice to stumble upon something new.
