Preserving The Memory Of The World Trade Center And September 11, 2001

WTC Connect is an educational resource dedicated to honoring those we lost, teaching future generations, and ensuring that we never forget. 2026 marks the 25th Anniversary of 9/11. As a candidate to be State Representative for District 183, I feel it is my duty to bring my collection to our community. It was a time where we all came together to fight for the common good. Now, more than ever, we cannot afford to forget.

Our Mission

The World Trade Center was more than steel and glass — it was a place where tens of thousands of people from around the world came to work, to visit, and to build their lives. On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 of them were killed in the deadliest terrorist attack in history.

We believe remembrance and education are inseparable. By keeping this history accurate and accessible, we honor the lives lost and equip future generations to understand a day that reshaped the world.

Education

Photographs, Documents, And Memorabilia

Through our shows and presentations, we educate the community on why the Twin Towers were such a critical part of our history. Shamefully, most children are neither taught about 9/11 in school and know nothing about it. For the people, we cannot afford to forget.

Explore our growing collection of historical photographs, primary-source documents, and artifacts available for educational loan and public programs.

Help Us Support Our First Responders

We try to make every show an active form of support for our community firefighters, police, and other first responders. Many first responders need money and resources, especially our volunteer firefighters. We need to be there to support them.
