There are stories behind every piece of 9/11 history now on display at this new exhibit in Middle River. Stories that Ritz said have to be told especially for some of the youngest Americans.

“We want to try to educate the 70 million Americans that weren’t born or too young to remember 9/11,” said Ritz.

The traveling exhibit called America’s 9/11 living classroom is starting out in Middle River and features 40 stories told with artifacts from ground zero, the pentagon and the war on terror. They’re hoping to educate visitors about some of the lesser-known accounts from that fateful day.

There are also personal belongings from those who died on 9/11. Their families are getting the first look at the new exhibit before it opens to the public on Sunday, so their stories can continue to be told.
