We had Marc, a knowledgeable New Yorker from Brooklyn. We met up with him at the steps to Saint Paul’s Chapel… we went to different sights where he explained to us what happened in the area… I would recommend people do this tour prior to entering the memorial. It helps to understand what happened on that terrible day.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable with history - very thorough in bringing the historical and current building histories together.

The 9/11 Museum itself is built atop the footprint of the South Tower. It wends its way through the day of 9/11/01, starting w/ views of the Twin Towers and progressing through the day. There are numerous mementos, including personal effects from the planes and towers; a police cruiser; and two fire trucks. Besides the pictures, the moment-by-moment voice/visual experience of the plane crash in Pennsylvania was very emotional for me, as well, as the structure signed by rescue personnel and the stairwell used by many of those who escaped from the tower. I had to skip the room filled w/ pictures of the victims. My daughter noticed that no where in the museum was it pointed out that folks jumped to their deaths from the towers. IDK how this is too much to handle when other horrific items were displayed, such a crushed helmet worn by a firefighter.... I also was amazed at how SMALL the footprint of the towers was, compared to the enormous height of the buildings. It's not a fun museum to visit, but an important one. #nohate
