9/11 Memorial Mission

The 9/11 Memorial is located at the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan. Visitors can access the Memorial by presenting a visitor pass at the 9/11 Memorial Entry at the northwest corner of Albany and Greenwich Streets.

A Visitor Pass (an example)

Trees: Grown in nurseries around the crash sites, the trees provide a sense of rebirth and calm in the midst of the city.

Pools: The Memorial pools mark the footprints of the towers. This is where each tower used to stand. Waterfalls – the largest manmade waterfalls in North Americas – cascade down their sides into a center void. Now, instead of looking up at the towers, we look down at what is left behind.

Many elements have meaning and were included in the memorial for a reason.

Names: Each pool is surrounded by bronze parapets (edges) inscribed with the names of the victims of the September 11, 2001. The names are grouped according to the victim’s connections and relationships in life. The names are cut into parapets, allowing visitors to make paper impressions or rubbings of the individual names.
