Tribute Center begins Ground Zero tour program
Survivors of the September 11 attacks and relatives of those who were killed at the World Trade Center have begun leading public tours of the area for the Tribute Center.
The first tours have begun somewhat quietly with a more public announcement scheduled for next month after all the kinks are worked out, Sally Yerkovich, president of The Tribute Center, told NewYorkology via e-mail.
The 75-minute walking tours around the site's perimeter cost $10. The tours will be led by "people who lost loved ones, survivors who were in the buildings, commuters, lower Manhattan residents and workers, rescue workers, police, firemen, and the volunteers who came to help," according to the tour description at Telecharge.
Yerkovich passed along these details, which will also be available on online at www.tributenyc.org sometime soon: From now through December 18, we offer one tour each weekday at 1:00 p.m. and two tours each weekend day, at Noon and 2:00 p.m. Starting December 19th, we will offer two tours each weekday (1:00 and 3:00) and four tours each weekend (at Noon, 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00).
Visitors can go to 'Other Events' at www.telecharge.com to make reservations for the tours. Starting November 28, 2005, they can also call 212-422-3520. The Tribute Center, located near the fire station across the street from the World Trade Center site to the south, is scheduled to open in Spring 2006, Yerkovich wrote.
