The 9/11 Memorial remembers and honors the 2,983 people who were killed in the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993. The design, created by Michael Arad and Peter Walker, consists of two reflecting pools formed in the footprints of the original Twin Towers and a plaza of trees. The 9/11 Memorial Museum displays monumental artifacts linked to the events of 9/11, while presenting intimate stories of loss, compassion, reckoning, and recovery that are central to telling the story of the 2001 and 1993 attacks and the aftermath.
The 9/11 Tribute Center is a project of the September 11th Families’ Association which brings together those who want to learn about 9/11 with those who experienced it. We invite visitors to share personal stories of the 9/11 community — family members who lost loved ones, survivors, first responders and rescue workers, civilian volunteers, and community residents whose healing is a testament to the perseverance of the human spirit. We provide an understanding of the loss and impact of 9/11 while inspiring the power of resilience and recovery. Stories from the 9/11 community are a bridge from the past to the present, helping students and teachers convey the significant impact of 9/11 in history and in shaping the future. The 9/11 Tribute Center offers students grades 4-12 the unique opportunity to learn about September 11th by interacting with the personal stories of those who were there, a rare opportunity in historical learning. Since we opened our doors, 80,000 students have been inspired by our galleries and our guides. Online, more than 42,000 classrooms have used our oral history videos and materials for their classrooms. The 9/11 Tribute Center is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and sharing the personal histories of those who were there. Help us grow and sustain this community and extraordinary mission. Make your donation in honor or in memory of a loved one. More than 90 percent of every dollar donated goes directly to serving the public and educational programming.
