Veterans Day 2024: A Celebration of Service at Iconic Museums

Let’s face it, folks. Veterans Day is that glorious time of year when we shove our political differences aside and show some much-deserved love to the men and women who’ve donned the uniform. And what better way to do that than by hitting up some of the most badass museums offering free admissions? Buckle up, because we’re diving into the juicy details of events at the National Museum of Funeral History and the Harley-Davidson Museum this November.

The National Museum of Funeral History: A Unique Tribute

From November 11 to 16, 2024, the National Museum of Funeral History (NMFH) throws open its doors for a week of free admission for veterans and active-duty servicemembers. That’s right—no wallet necessary! Walking through this museum is like stepping into a time capsule of the funeral industry. You’ll get a peek at the history of death care, from ancient rituals to modern practices. It’s educational, it’s thought-provoking, and, dare I say, a little bit cheeky. After all, who wouldn’t want to learn about what happens when you kick the bucket?

Harley-Davidson Museum: Revving Up for Veterans Day

And if you’re more of a hog rider, the Harley-Davidson Museum has got your back. On Veterans Day, all veterans and active-duty military personnel get free admission. Why?

And let’s not forget the other places like SkyPark at Santa's Village, where veterans can also enjoy free admission. Seriously, it’s a smorgasbord of patriotism.

Why These Celebrations Matter

In a world that often forgets the sacrifices made by our armed forces, events like these remind us of the importance of gratitude. It’s not just about the free stuff (though we all love that), but about taking a moment to appreciate the freedom we enjoy. It’s about honoring the stories, the pain, and the courage behind the uniforms.
