The 9/11 Never Forget Mobile Exhibit has officially arrived at Battery Park in Sioux City, IA. The Hard Rock Hotel is welcoming guests as they pay tribute to the first responders and remember those who lost their lives nearly fifteen years ago.

Welcomed around the country, this mobile exhibit - a high-tech, 53-foot tractor-trailer, which unfolds into a 1,100 square foot exhibit - serves as a poignant reminder of that infamous day.

The exhibit will be open to the public May 5-11 in Battery Park and is free of charge.

Area schools have been scheduled to tour the exhibit with over 2,000 students scheduled to attend. To lead visitors through the exhibit, four New York fire fighters will be guiding tours and speaking about their personal experience as first responders at the 9/11 attack in New York.

Hours:

  • Thursday, May 5 & Friday, May 6: [2:30pm – 9:00p]
  • Saturday, May 7: [10:00am – 9:00pm]
  • Sunday, May 8: [9:00am – 9:00pm]
  • Monday, May 9 – Wednesday, May 11  [2:30pm – 9:00pm]

The mobile exhibit arrived in Siouxland on Wednesday, with a welcoming procession led by first responders, traveled from South Sioux City, across the Veteran’s Memorial Bridge, and into downtown Sioux City where it was parked on display in Battery Park from May 5-11.

Hundreds of Siouxland residents lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the patriotic exhibit as it was accompanied by firetrucks, ambulance, and freedom riders.
