"First Person — Stories of Hope” has returned, bringing different speakers to the memorial each Friday until the end of August. Talks begin at 1:30 p.m.

"The stories these individuals tell about that day and what has happened in their lives since are incredible,” said Kari Watkins, the memorial's executive director.

"We all have things we can learn about hope and resilience through listening to their stories.”

Admission to the memorial is $10 for adults, $8 for senior citizens and $6 for students.

The museum is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
