In the September 11th attacks on the twin towers in New York City , Lower Makefield Township lost six residents , including the captain of United Airlines Flight 175 , the highest number in Pennsylvania , which lost a total of 29 tower employees . This high concentration is most likely due to the large number of Manhattan commuters who live there . The Garden of Reflection Memorial in Lower Makefield went into development shortly after the attacks as a dedication to the 17 Bucks County residents who died in the attacks , and it also honors all of the 2,973 victims who lost their lives . The State of Pennsylvania has selected The Garden of Reflection as the Official Pennsylvania 9-11 Memorial , and it was formally dedicated on September 30 , 2006 . The $ 1.4 million memorial , designed by Yardley architect Liuba Laschyk , includes twin fountains representing the towers of the World Trade Center ; a Walk of Remembrance , with a series of glass panels etched with the names of the 2,973 people who lost their lives in the 9-11 attacks ; and a memorial rail etched with the names of the 17 residents from Bucks County who were killed . Each year the Yardley Inn hosts a fundraiser called " Cooking with the Chef " to raise additional funding for maintenance of the Garden of Reflection
