September 11th Observance at the Museum


This Friday marks the 8th anniversary of the September 11th tragedy. The Museum is located mere blocks from the site where the Twin Towers once stood. On September 11, admission to MJH is free with suggested donation. This practice started on the first anniversary because we felt anyone downtown on that day was downtown for one reason, and we wanted to thank them.  As Abby put it so beautifully last year “The Museum’s proximity to the site of the tragedy, its identity as a downtown cultural institution, and its mission of remembrance compel us to reflect and remember with the community, our neighbors, and the nation.”
Whether you are a member of the Museum family or if this would be your very first visit, we welcome all to join us in remembrance on this very meaningful and emotional day.
