Overview

I'm a 9/11 survivor, a member of the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund. You will have my own experience of that day and the weeks afterward. After the attacks, I volunteered at what was then known as Ground Zero. I organized guides to give free walking tours to visiting first responders during the aftermath. After all, this is a deeply historic area of 400-year-old New York City. Colonial, Revolutionary War and early American historic spots are all around here. The tour begins in a church attended by George Washington.

You will see:
The Memorial Pools in the exact location of the Twin Towers
The Eleven Tears Memorial at American Express
A memorial for survivors who have since died of 9/11 syndrome
A sculpture that honors still-living survivors

You will be taken to places most guides don't know about: scenes where you can still see lingering damage from September 11 that has never been removed. It's still in plain sight, if you know where to look. Allow me to show you.

Meeting Location

Meeting point

Liberty Street
New York, NY 10005, USA

Show on Google Maps

Detailed check-in instructions, including the exact address, are provided with your booking confirmation.

End point

Broadway
New York, NY 10007, USA

St. Paul's is on Broadway, four blocks north of the start point. It isn't just the end point of the tour: It's not only been historic since the American Revolution; it figures strongly in the September 11 story.

What To Expect

St. Paul's Chapel

This little chapel is incredibly rich in not only September 11 history, but American and NYC history as well. *Originally Church Of England, it predates the United States by about a decade. *The original Great Seal of the United States (E PLURIBUS UNUM) hangs on its wall. *A service was said for guest of honor George Washington on the day of his inauguration in 1789. *All of the windows are original from 1766. Find out why none broke on September 11, despite virtually every other window breaking for blocks around! *Firemen and engineers who cleaned up Ground Zero slept here until May of 2002. *A Revolutionary general, born in Ireland and killed in action in Quebec, is entombed here, in the first American national monument. I can't express how awesome a place this is.

9/11 Memorial Pools

The American National September 11 Memorial is a 16-acre campus featuring a pair of 1-acre waterfalls. They face inward, the water disappearing from view as the victims have disappeared from our lives. Both are surrounded by panels inscribed with the names of all the dead; nearly 3000.Your guide will show you which groups of victims are arranged on both sets of waterfalls. If you have loved one among those who passed, tell us in advance so we can take you to the proper panel.You will also be taken to the new memorial that opened in 2019. This more simple memorial honors those who have died of the aftereffects of the Attacks, and those who have yet to die.And we will stop by the Survivor Tree. It is one of the few survivors, found alive a month after The Attacks. You'll be shown the branches of new growth since that time.Nearby, see Fritz Koenig's damaged but unbroken sculpture, World Trade.And a scion of the chestnut tree that Anne Frank admired in "The Diary Of A Young Girl."Also, the future Greek Orthodox basilica of Saint Nikolas. You will be shown the *very* last photo of the original church, with the burning towers looming overhead.

World Trade Center Station (PATH)

We will walk a ped bridge over the West Side Highway: More than 20 years later, damage to this bridge made on September 11 is still visible! The eastern end of the bridge was snapped off on that day. In the years after, a park was created at the exact height of the bridge. We walk from the 11 Tears Memorial, across this bridge, and into the elevated park. We will view the Fritz Koenig sculpture The Sphere, which was originally placed in a plaza between the Twin Towers, as well as a scion from the chestnut tree written about in Anne Frank's diary, and the new Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Nicholas.
