Thanks for sharing about the Blue Star Program--I had never heard of it
before. However, since we don't charge anyone admission to our museum,
we
probably couldn't participate in the program.

Hello, All – I’m curious to know how many other historica
l museums are
part of the Blue Star Museum program? It’s a national program (N
EA) 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 acknowled
ge our
country’s military families.
Here’s a link to the Blue Star Museum website in case youâ€
™d like more
