Free Museum Tickets!

[JenniferL]

I'm just full of freebies lately, aren't I?

 

While cruising the Historic Roswell (where I live) website, I discovered that the Smithsonian is sponsoring a FREE museum day. You can get a free pass for two people to a participating museum on Sept. 29.  It's a national promotion, so the chances of something cool being in your area are good.

Not even in the state of Texas. I am noticing a disturbing trend here

None at all? That sucks. We were disappointed in the selection for metro Atlanta. Segurant wanted to go see the Fernbank Museum of Natural History, but it's not participating. But all three antebellum mansions in Roswell are. So we'll use our pass to go on the guided tours at Barrington Hall, Bulloch Hall and Smith Plantation.  It'll be a nice day out for us.

SURE - rub it in my face. LOL

None in my state unsurprisingly but I think it might be worth a trip into NYC! :D

31 Texas locations is nothing? I'm not sure what trend you mean, because there were loads of free theater tickets in Texas too ;) Choosing "Texas" in the drop-down box doesn't do anything, for some reason. Enter your zip code instead, or click on Texas on the map.
