Visit A Museum This Saturday – For Free!

Saturday, September 29, 2012 is National Museum Day where select museums around the country admit you and a guest for free!  You can’t just show up, however.  You must get your Museum Day ticket online beforehand.  This event is sponsored by Smithsonian Magazine.  Go to their website to find a list of participating museums near you and to register for your free tickets.
