Mission
Tribute WTC Visitor Center offers visitors to the World Trade Center site a 
place where they can connect with people from the September 11th 
community. Through walking tours, exhibits and programs, the Tribute WTC 
Visitor Center offers "Person to Person History," linking visitors who want to   
understand and appreciate these historic events with those who 
experienced them. 

History
The Tribute Center embodies the need to gather at the World Trade Center 
site, connect with the people, places and events of February 26, 1993 and   
September 11, 2001, and reflect. Tribute WTC Visitor Center is a project of 
the September 11th Families' Association, a 501(C)3 non-profit corporation. 
The Tribute WTC Visitor Center expands upon the September 11th Families’ 
Association mission to unite and support victims of terrorism by 
incorporating the entire   9/11 community – families, survivors, residents, 
rescue workers and volunteers   affected by 9/11/01. The Center creates a 
central place for information about   9/11 at the WTC site. Visitors learn 
factual information about the events on   September 11th, the identity of 
2,973 people killed in the attacks, the   unprecedented rescue and recovery 
operations and the tremendous spirit of   support and generosity that 
arose after the attacks.

Program components provide sensitive reception and hospitality to men, 
women and children from all over the world who will receive guidance, 
friendship, and   the opportunity to carry with them a significant memory 
for the rest of their   lives. The educational program depicts to visitors a 
core curriculum through the  gallery space, lectures, multimedia displays 
and guided walks around the World   Trade Center site. The Tribute WTC 
Center is working in collaboration with the   National September 11th 
Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center to evaluate visitation.

The Tribute Center serves to welcome over 300,000 visitors to Lower 
Manhattan  annually. Currently, there is no where for them to learn 
constructively or to   seek information about September 11, 2001 in 
proximity to the WTC site. The   Tribute Center offers 6,000 square 
feet of exhibit and educational meeting space   for visitors in one of 
downtown’s historic buildings at 120 Liberty Street. The Tribute WTC 
Center is located next to FDNY firehouse 10/10 and across from the   
World Trade Center site.
