HOME > National 9/11 Memorial
The 9/11 Memorial was dedicated on September 11, 2011 in a special ceremony for victims’ families and opened to the public on September 12, 2011 with the reservation of a visitor pass.
The Memorial is a national tribute of remembrance and honor to the nearly three thousand people killed in the terror attacks of February 26, 1993 and September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center site, near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon.
The Memorial consists of two massive pools
set within the footprints of the Twin Towers with the largest manmade waterfalls in the country
cascading down their sides. They will be a powerful reminder of the Twin
Towers and of the unprecedented loss of life from an attack on our soil.

The 9/11 Memorial’s underground Museum is still on track to open by September 11, 2012, when visitors will have their first opportunity to descend into the lower levels of site and view artifacts of all sizes, walk beneath the twin pools, and view elements of the original World Trade Center.
Providing visitors with access to the historic assets preserved at the WTC site, the Museum will display both the monumental artifacts associated with the events of 9/11 and focus on the human dimension of history by narrating the personal stories behind these events.
