14885670WordSection1 {}-->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 agr
ee to offer free admission to active military and their families from Memor
ial Day to Labor Day. Â 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 itâ
€™s such a positive way to acknowledge our country’s military f
amilies.  Here’s a link to the Blue Star Museum website in cas
e you’d like more details:  https://www.arts.gov/national/blue
