About Tribute WTC Visitor Center September 11th Families' Association:
The September 11th Families' Association www.911families.org supports victims of terrorism through communication, representation and peer support. Our mission is to unite the September 11th community, present evolving issues, and share resources for long-term recovery.
The Tribute WTC Visitor Center was created by the September 11th Families' Association to share the personal stories of victims, survivors, rescue and recovery workers, volunteers, and residents of Lower Manhattan. By engaging visitors in the authentic experiences of those most affected by the events of 9/11, the exhibits convey the courage, loss, heroism, and grief of those who responded to the tragedy. These personal experiences put a human face on the overwhelming events that shocked the city, the nation and the world. The Center increases understanding of the humanity and community that was both lost and found. These goals are met by offering exhibits and personalized walking tours of the World Trade Center site. Throughout the Center, interactive exhibits, personal greeters and an environment for reflection involve visitors in appreciating the scope and impact of the disaster as well as the enormous outpouring of compassion in response to that loss.
