Allen County Historical Society is now officially a member of the Blue Star Museums program.
The program, which includes over 1,800 museums across the nation, gives free access to military personnel and their families. Though the Allen County museum is always free, society director Elyssa Jackson said being part of the program will help get the museum’s name out in the public, as well as support other museums that recognize military personnel.
“We are excited to become a part of the Blue Star Museums program,” she said. “Although admission to the historical society is always free, we feel that joining with Blue Star is one way that we can give thanks and give back to our military community.”
The program is a collaboration between the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families and the Department of Defense. This year, 450 museums have been added to the ever-expanding list.
