Brooksville, FL – (October 21, 2024) - Brooksville Main Street & the City of Brooksville is proud to announce The Tunnel to Towers Foundation 9/11 NEVER FORGET Mobile Exhibit will arrive in Brooksville on Thursday, November 7th.
The 9/11 NEVER FORGET Mobile Exhibit is an 83-foot tractor-trailer that transforms into a 1,100-square-foot museum space. Visitors to the Mobile Exhibit will see artifacts from Ground Zero, including World Trade Center steel, pieces of the marble lobby floor, and the aluminum façade.
The exhibit features videos, 9/11 dispatch audio, and a tribute to the first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice on 9/11, and those who have lost their lives since due to 9/11-related illnesses.
Tours of the exhibit are conducted by retired New York City Firefighters and first responders who responded to Ground Zero. These witnesses to history share their experiences and memories of what they saw on 9/11 and the days and weeks that followed.
On Thursday, Nov 7th at approximately 2pm, the public is encouraged to line Russell Street to Fort Dade Ave to welcome and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice on 9/11. The Hernando County Sheriff and Fire Department convoy will escort the museum from Hwy 50 / I 75 intersections towards Brooksville. At the city limits, Brooksville Fire Department will escort the museum into downtown Brooksville.
