Dumfries, Va. –– Historic Weems-Botts Museum in Dumfries has joined the league of Blue Star Museums, which allows free admission to active-duty personnel and up to five immediate family members each year from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day.
The service member must be present and have proper identification, according to museum officials.
The museum also altered its hours for the summer. It’s now open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. Before the change, it was closed on Sundays and open on Tuesdays.
On July 9 at Merchant Park, there will be a presentation on the history of Dumfries at 7 p.m.
