Newseum.

To get the day started we went to the Newseum. It is a newer museum in the DC area and not your typical one. We first started out by learning about the Berlin Wall – they have part of the real wall in the museum. Then we moved on to Famous Terrorists Attacks on our great Nation, again they have some amazing things from them. After that we moved on up to the very top of the museum and they have an observation deck , that once you walk out on to it you get a great shot of the United States of American’s Capital.  Also on that same level they have each day every major newspaper from all 50 states send them their front page and print them off and put them on display here as well as outside – so you can walk by and see what’s going on back home! Then we went on to a 9/11 part of the museum. It was amazing and so moving. It really reminds you what you were doing on that day and everyone that is important in your life. They also have part of the museum where they have Presidential first photos where they have some of their personal photos on display. Also in the museum they have part of it where major newspapers have impacted our history, and they go as far back as 1800’s. It is an overall good museum and I would recommend going.

Some of the following photos are from the Newseum from the events that happend on that very sad day.

Actual airplane parts from one of the airplanes that hit one of the towers. The landing gear is in the bottom right, it is the triangle looking thing and the things that are hanging are the engines.

All of the Newspapers from September 12 - the front covers from all 50 states.

Can you remember what ours looked like.....
