COURT HOUSE – The Cape May County Museum announced the launch of Blue Stars Museums, a collaboration among the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense, and a record-breaking 2,000 museums across America to offer free admission to the nation’s active duty military personnel, including National Guard and Reserve and their families now through Labor Day 2013. The program provides families an opportunity to enjoy the nation’s cultural heritage and learn more about their new communities after completing a military move.
“Through this distinctive collaboration, service members and their families can connect with our national treasures with this unparalleled opportunity to visit some of the country’s finest museums for free,” said Blue Star Families CEO Kathy Roth-Douquet.
In conjunction with this program, the Cape May County Museum will feature a special exhibit of uniforms from its military collection, beginning with a uniform from the Spanish American War up to the current war in Afghanistan. The complete list of participating museums is available at www.arts.gov/bluestarmuseums. The Cape May County Museum is located at 504 Route 9 North, Cape May Court House and is open Wed. through Sat., from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
