Memorial Plaza
Northwest of the Big Well Museum. From 1915 to 2007 the Weaver and Emily (Beck) Fleener family home stood on the northeast corner of the block shared by the Big Well Museum. After the 2007 tornado the Fleener-Beck family donated its property to the city for a plaza to memorialize this dramatic time in Greensburg's history that took their home and those of their neighbors. A gray granite marker lists the names of the 10 residents whose lives were lost the night the devastating tornado hit Greensburg. Stop for a moment of quiet reflection on the cost of that storm.
