| A 6,000 sq. ft., $3.4 million Visitor and Learning Center located in a storefront at 120 Liberty Street, across from the World Trade Center site. The idea for the Tribute Center grew out of the desire of those closely affected by the events of September 11th to share their stores – accounts of the day and the remarkable outpouring of help and heroism; narratives of courage in spite of loss and grief; and reports of resilience in the face of tragedy. It is located in a storefront at 120 Liberty Street, across the street from the World Trade Center site. The space, with two levels, has an information desk, changing exhibits and artifacts that focus on the story of the people, their emotions and reactions to the terrorist attacks, rather than the buildings. |
