TRIBUTE CENTER OPENS

New Visitors' Center on the Perimeter of the World Trade Center Site Houses Exhibits and Artifacts Commemorating the Events of September 11, 2001

Governor George E. Pataki, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation joined members of the September 11th Families Association to open the Tribute Center, the first visitors’ center to open near the World Trade Center site. Commemorating the events of September 11, 2001, the Tribute Center is filled with exhibits and artifacts, and will serve as the interim visitors’ center until the World Trade Center Memorial and Museum open in 2009. The Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC) contributed $3 million for the design, construction and operating expenses.

The Tribute Center uses exhibits in the Visitor’s Center and a Walking Tour program led by members of the 9/11 community to inform, educate and personally connect with visitors who come from across the nation and every corner of the globe to learn, not only what happened on September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993 but to pay their respects. It creates a lasting connection between those who need to hear the stories and those who need to tell them. More »
