Yes, in the interest of full disclosure – and because it is relevant to the narrative – I should make it clear that I am the Associate Curator & Collections Manager at the 9\/11 Tribute Museum.[\/vc_column_text][mk_blockquote style=”line-style” font_family=”none” font_size_combat=”true” text_size=”22″ el_class=”blue”]\n

This is one of the reasons I appreciate being a part of the 9\/11 Tribute Museum. By making 9\/11 the beginning of a larger and more uplifting narrative, it becomes easier to share the stories of 9\/11 with a younger audience. I was able to take my niece through the galleries and have a meaningful conversation with her, using the artifacts, images, videos and quotes as starting points.<\/p>\n

We also went to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island that day and were able to skip the ticket line. Tribute sells a combo package that includes tickets for both the Tribute Museum and the ferry to Liberty and Ellis Islands. So when you go down to the water, you already have your tickets and can go right to the boats, saving yourself some time and a few bucks while you\u2019re at it.[\/vc_column_text][mk_blockquote style=”line-style” font_family=”none” font_size_combat=”true” text_size=”22″ el_class=”blue”]\n

The Statue of Liberty is a popular place for many reasons \u2013 up close, it is a wonder to behold and offers amazing views of Lower Manhattan<\/span><\/h3>\n[\/mk_blockquote][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1525209881570{margin-top: 60px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]The Statue of Liberty is a popular place for many reasons \u2013 up close, it is a wonder to behold and offers amazing views of Lower Manhattan. My favorite part, however, is an old National Parks sign on the bottom of the Statue\u2019s pedestal, facing east. It has been there about 20 years and it shows the evolution of the Lower Manhattan skyline from 1908 to 1997, and right there, front and center in the big panoramic image are the Twin Towers. It was installed as historic interpretation but has become an artifact itself, perhaps in need of an explanatory plaque of its own. It can\u2019t be accidental that it is still there, describing a \u201cpresent day\u201d skyline that was so suddenly and unalterably changed on 9\/11. I imagine that it\u2019s been left in place so that people could see where the towers once stood and perhaps to remember a time when our future skyline looked a little more complete.<\/p>\n

After a quick baloney sandwich lunch and looking up ancestors on Ellis Island, we were all thoroughly exhausted and ready to head back to the city. As I watched the Lower Manhattan skyline approach from outside the ferry window, I found myself thinking about the changes it went through from 1908 to 1997 and then again, since 9\/11 and seeing the resilience in New York City, in the skyline\u2019s unending ability to continue to grow.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_slide” interval=”0″ images=”1882,1881,1880″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=”true” fullwidth_content=”false” css=”.vc_custom_1525211217633{margin-top: 140px !important;margin-bottom: 40px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;background-color: #0092d0 !important;}”][vc_column][mk_fancy_title strip_tags=”true” color=”#ffffff” size=”21″ font_weight=”600″ txt_transform=”uppercase” margin_bottom=”30″ font_family=”none” align=”center” animation=”bottom-to-top”]Do you have questions about the Statue Of Liberty Combo?[\/mk_fancy_title][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][mk_button dimension=”outline” corner_style=”rounded” size=”large” url=”https:\/\/fareharbor.com\/embeds\/book\/tributewtc\/items\/66918\/?full-items=yes&u=04270c30-8bcb-45dc-8e3a-90d67147f812&from-ssl=no” align=”center” margin_bottom=”0″ margin_right=”0″ animation=”bottom-to-top” outline_skin=”custom” outline_active_color=”#ffffff” outline_active_text_color=”#ffffff” outline_hover_color=”#0082d2″]Book Now[\/mk_button][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][mk_button dimension=”outline” corner_style=”rounded” size=”large” url=”\/statue-of-liberty-combo\/” align=”center” margin_bottom=”0″ margin_right=”0″ animation=”bottom-to-top” outline_skin=”custom” outline_active_color=”#ffffff” outline_active_text_color=”#ffffff” outline_hover_color=”#0082d2″]Learn More[\/mk_button][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
