The 9/11 Memorial remembers and honors the 2,983 people who were killed in the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993. The design, created by Michael Arad and Peter Walker, consists of two reflecting pools formed in the footprints of the original Twin Towers and a plaza of trees. The 9/11 Memorial Museum displays monumental artifacts linked to the events of 9/11, while presenting intimate stories of loss, compassion, reckoning, and recovery that are central to telling the story of the 2001 and 1993 attacks and the aftermath.

From the Collection: Locked to a street sign on Broadway near Cedar Street, a block from the World Trade Center, this abandoned bicycle soon became an impromptu shrine to the messengers and delivery persons presumed to have been killed on 9/11. Flowers, coins, notes, and religious items were left at the makeshift memorial in the months that followed.

A tribute sign with a faded image of the Mexican flag on a piece of paper accompanied the bike. Below the flag is a bright green piece of paper with handwritten text: “In memory of the delivery boys who died | En memoria de los delivery boys que murieron | Sep 11 2001."

A commemorative football honoring the legacy of Welles Remy Crowther is now part of our newest exhibition, "In Their Honor: 25 Years of 9/11-Inspired Service."

Welles was a 24-year-old equities trader and former Boston College athlete who died while helping others escape the South Tower on 9/11. Survivors remembered him by the red bandana he wore over his face, earning him the name “the Man in the Red Bandanna.”

In 2014, Boston College and the Welles Remy Crowther Charitable Trust hosted the first Red Bandanna Game, honoring Welles’s legacy through uniforms and gear featuring the red bandanna image. The annual game celebrates not only Welles’s athleticism, but the compassion and selflessness he showed to others.

This commemorative football, given to Welles’s family, is now on display in "In Their Honor: 25 Years of 9/11-Inspired Service" which explores how acts of courage, compassion, and service inspired by September 11 have continued to shape communities and generations.

Access to this exhibition is included in your Museum ticket. https://ow.ly/IiBk50ZUW8F

Did you know the original World Trade Center had its own ZIP code?

Before 9/11, the World Trade Center complex used ZIP code 10048, reflecting the scale of the buildings and the thousands of people who worked there. After the attacks, 10048 was withdrawn from use. The rebuilt World Trade Center site is now part of ZIP code 10007.
