World Trade Center Heroes & Memorials

World Trade Center Heroes & Memorials

In addition to the memorials, you will have my own experience of that day and the time afterward.
You will be taken to places most guides don't know about: places where you can still see lingering damage from September 11!

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: St. Paul's Chapel, 209 Broadway b/t Fulton Street & Vesey Street, New York City, NY 10007-2977

N/A

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: American Express 11 Tears Memorial, 200 Vesey St American Express Headquarters, New York City, NY 10281-1013

We will stop to admire the poignant memorial which remembers the eleven employees of American Express who were killed in the attacks on the Twin Towers.

Duration: 3 minutes

Stop At: FDNY Memorial Wall, 124 Liberty St, New York City, NY 10006-1008

This firefighters' bronze memorial is on the west wall of 10 House, home of Ladder 10 and Pumper 10. Six men from this firehouse -- literally across the street from the World Trade Center -- are among the 343 who lost their lives that day.
Each year on September 11, American flags are run up the flagpole above 10 House, saluted by members of the US armed forces, and given to members of the families.

Duration: 5 minutes

Stop At: 9/11 Memorial, 180 Greenwich St, New York, NY 10007, USA

The American National September 11 Memorial is a 16-acre campus featuring a pair of 1-acre waterfalls. They face inward, the water disappearing from view as the victims have disappeared from our lives. Both are surrounded by panels inscribed with the names of all the dead; nearly 3000.

Your guide will show you which groups of victims are arranged on both sets of waterfalls. If you have loved one among those who passed, tell us in advance so we can take you to the proper panel.

You will also be taken to the new memorial that opened in 2019. This more simple memorial honors those who have died of the aftereffects of the Attacks, and those who have yet to die.

And we will stop by the Survivor Tree. It is one of the few survivors, found alive a month after The Attacks. You'll be shown the branches of new growth since that time.

Nearby, see Fritz Koenig's damaged but unbroken sculpture, World Trade.

And a scion of the chestnut tree that Anne Frank admired in "The Diary Of A Young Girl."

Also, the future Greek Orthodox basilica of Saint Nikolas. You will be shown the *very* last photo of the original church, with the burning towers looming overhead.

Duration: 45 minutes
