In Fall River, at Battleship Cove, there is a compass rose along the sidewalk to the exhibits.
The compass rose is a simple design. There are eight points surrounding a circle, and the initials for the four main directions are at the end of four points. Along the edge are the names of four cities: Boston, MA; New York, NY; Arlington, VA; and Shanksville, PA.
The rose is immediately surrounded by a grass space, then a circle of cement sidewalk. Currently, the area is partially blocked by scaffolding.
The compass rose is in the exhibit area, which means that you must pay admission to access it. Prices, directions, and hours are available on the Battleship Cove website. In general, it is off of Water Street and directly below the I-195 bridge between Fall River and Somerset.
