For the third year in a row, Fort Caspar Museum is a “Blue Star Museum” from Memorial Day, May 28th, to Labor Day, September 3, 2012. During this time, Fort Caspar Museum offers free admission to active duty military and their immediate family members (military ID holder and five immediate family members). Also included are active duty Reserve and active duty National Guard.

This program is a partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, and more than 600 museums across America to offer free admission to all active duty military personnel and their families from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Fort Caspar Museum is one of the few museums in Wyoming to participate in this program. To learn more about Blue Star Museums and Blue Star Families, visit www.arts.gov/bluestarmuseums. The site includes a list of participating museums and a map to help with visit planning. More information about the National Endowment for the Arts is available at www.arts.gov.

“America’s museums are proud to join the rest of the country in thanking our military personnel and their families for their service and sacrifice,” said National Endowment for the Arts Chairman Rocco Landesman. “I cannot imagine a better way to do that than welcoming them in to explore and enjoy the extraordinary cultural heritage our museums present. The works of art on view this summer will inspire and challenge viewers, and sometimes they will just be a great deal of fun.”
