Check out the Blue Star website. You can still register and get on their map
even if it's free anyway to visit your museum.

Since we do not charge to visit our museums this program would not work for
us.
We ask for free-will donations.

Subject: Blue Star Museum Participation
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:
