14 Experiences Every American Should Have On Their Bucket List

Reflect On Dark Days in US History at the 9/11 Memorial

Sept. 11, 2001, marked a tragic day in American history: A series of coordinated attacks were carried out on the country’s governmental landmarks, resulting in almost 3,000 deaths and nearly 10,000 injuries. It will forever be remembered as the day that the World Trade Center towers fell.

Though it’s hardly a fun outing, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York is a must-see for every American, especially those who witnessed the horrendous events unfold either in person or on television. The museum spans 110,000 square feet and offers two core exhibitions, as well as other rotating ones. The memorial is located outdoors and includes the name of every person who died in the attacks.
