Oklahoma City National Memorial

Oklahoma City National Memorial

The MemorialMuseum takes visitors on a chronological, self-guided tour through the story of April 19, 1995, and the days, weeks, months and years that followed the bombing of Oklahoma City's AlfredP.MurrahFederalBuilding. This is the story of one of the largest terrorist attacks on American soil. The story is told in chapters, and takes visitors through this historical event beginning early morning April 19, 1995, and ending with a message of hope for today.

We hope you enjoy our work.
