The 9/11 Memorial & Museum will host a weeklong series of commemorative activities in recognition of the 16th anniversary of the end of the historic rescue, recovery and relief efforts at Ground Zero.

From Tuesday, May 29, through Sunday, June 3, 2018, visit the 9/11 Memorial & Museum for special programming, including rescue and recovery worker-themed “The Stories They Tell” talks in the Museum’s auditorium as well as drop-in, family-friendly activities. Rescue and recovery workers are welcome to visit the Museum during this time with complimentary admission for two additional guests.

A special ceremony will also take place in Foundation Hall on Wednesday, May 30, to honor rescue and recovery workers and their families. The tribute will include a moment of silence to remember those who have succumbed to 9/11-related illnesses. Tickets can be reserved here.
