9/11 Memorial
"The Memorial Museum is committed to offering useful educational programs and materials about the events of September 11, 2001"
Aside from the educational, as of Sept 2011, the public can now view and reflect upon the pools and names (and wealth of history in the museum) - for some somber, perhaps spiritual, remembrances of that day which altered history. Tickets are required and may be reserved via this site. (Donations optional.)
