Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum (site of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building)

The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum occupies the footprint of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, which was destroyed in the 1995 bombing. The outdoor memorial includes the Gates of Time, the Reflecting Pool, and a Field of Empty Chairs representing the victims; the adjacent museum documents the bombing, rescue and recovery, and aftermath. The site also preserves the Survivor Tree, an American elm that survived the blast and remains a symbol at the memorial. The memorial and museum are open to the public for education and remembrance.
