The Blue Star Program is great for Military families. It was started in the Summer of 2010 thanks to the National Endowment for the Arts (among others who make it possible). The program allows active duty Military personnel and their families to go to museums across the country for free from Memorial Day (May 27th) to Labor Day (September 2nd). This Summer will be no different.
Remember to bring your Military ID!
