Edinburg, Texas — The Museum of South Texas History announces its participation in the ninth annual Blue Star Museums, a collaboration among the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense and more than 2,000 museums across America to offer free admission to the nation’s active duty military personnel and their families from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Active military families can enjoy free admission to the museum’s special events and presentations this summer which include Story Time Tuesday, Summer Nights at the Museum and Sunday Speaker Series. Each event invites families to enjoy hands-on activities, storytelling and living history interpretations. For more information about the upcoming events at the museum, please call the museum at 956-383-6911.
“We are proud to join with so many throughout the United States to express our gratitude for the service of these families to our nation,” said Shan Rankin, the executive director of the Museum of South Texas History. “And, we look forward to sharing the museum and the activities planned for this summer with them!”
“As many military families spend the summer months moving from one duty station to another, or reconnecting with a parent who has returned from deployment, Blue Star Museums helps service members and their families create memories,” said Blue Star Families Chief Executive Officer Kathy Roth-Douquet. “Blue Star Families has great appreciation for the generosity of the museums across the country who roll out the red carpet for the families who serve alongside their service members. We are thrilled with the continued growth of the program and the unparalleled opportunities it offers.”
