Marshall University’s Memorial Fountain has stood for decades as a memorial to those lost in a devastating plane crash, provided the promise of new life to generations of students and community members and is now being considered for inclusion on the U.S. Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places. Marshall's Memorial Fountain, created in memory of the 75 individuals lost in the 1970 Marshall University plane crash and officially dedicated in 1972, was nominated for the significant designation by the West Virginia Archives and History Commission during a meeting today on Marshall’s Huntington campus. The nomination now goes to the National Park Service for review.
