The National September 11 Memorial & Museum is the 16-acre site on Lower Manhattan known as "Ground Zero", formerly the home to the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. After the attack on September 11, 2001, the area was completely destroyed. The area has been rebuilt as a memorial to the 3,000 people who lost their lives on that tragic day and is considered America's most sacred ground. It's a site for reflection and respect rather than snapping photographs.

The original footprints of the two former World Trade Center Towers has been preserved as reflecting pools adjacent to the new World Trade Center buildings, a memorial museum and landscaped plaza. A visit to Ground Zero is an emotional, numbing experience that's not soon forgotten.

Take a walking tour of the property and visit the 9/11 Memorial Museum. Viewing the tributes on nearby Church Street allows visitors to remember the events of that fateful day.
