Hello, All - I'm curious to know how many other historical museums are part
of the Blue Star Museum program? It's a national program (NEA) where
museums of all types agree to offer free admission to active military and
their families from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Our Swiss Historical Village & Museum has been involved with this program
for several years. We don't get a ton of activity (a little over 45 free
admissions last season), but it's such a positive way to acknowledge our
country's military families.
Here's a link to the Blue Star Museum website in case you'd like more
details:
