Subject: Blue Star Museum Participation  Hello, All – Iâ€
™m curious to know how many other historical museums are part of the Blue
Star Museum program? It’s a national program (NEA) where mus
eums of all types agree to offer free admission to active military and thei
r families from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Â Our Swiss Historical Villa
ge & 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:  https://www.a
rts.gov/national/blue-star-museums   Peace.  â€
