The National September 11 Memorial & Museum serves as a poignant tribute to the victims of the September 11 attacks and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Located at the original World Trade Center site, it honors the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives. The memorial's twin reflecting pools, set within the footprints of the original Twin Towers, symbolize the loss and absence felt by families and the nation. The museum's exhibits provide a space for reflection and learning, with personal stories of loss, recovery, and hope.
