So That We Remember and Learn

The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum

The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum was created to honor victims, survivors, and rescuers of the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building—the most significant act of domestic terrorism on American soil.

The remains of the building, along with two damaged adjacent structures, were demolished and the entire 3.3 acre site dedicated to the Memorial & Museum, which educates visitors about the impact of violence, informs about events surrounding the bombing, and inspires hope and healing through lessons learned by those affected.

The Web site is a great companion to the museum in educating students about an important event in U.S. history and contains many resources for teachers, including professional development opportunities, curriculum ideas, and planning for visits. Take a virtual tour of the site, including the famed gates and empty chairs, to appreciate the beauty and serenity of this memorial.
