Southeast Texas Senior Tourism News: Fire Museum of Texas to Host 9/11 A Timeline Exhibit from the State Museum of New York
On today’s Southeast Texas Senior Tourism News, we look at a special 9/11 exhibit coming to the Fire Museum of Texas in Beaumont.
In Southeast Texas, 9/11 is a time for reflection. We remember all of the innocent Americans who lost their lives that day.
This year, revisit for a moment, the unforeseen tragedy that unfolded on 9/11 2001.
The State Museum of New York has created a special timeline recreating the events as they unfolded in New York City and at The Pentagon in Washington DC.
The Fire Museum of Texas will be bringing the exhibit to Beaumont in August and September.
This will give you the opportunity to look back at a day that changed America and propelled us into a war on terror that has been ongoing for the last fifteen years.
This year, take a moment to examine the events of 9/11 as they unfolded at The Fire Museum of Texas through the special exhibit September 11, 2001 – A Timeline.
