On July 1, the Manassas Museum will be offering free admission.
The decision to provide free admission to the museum came from the Manassas Historic Resources Board and the Manassas City Council, in order to give residents the opportunity to visit the museum.
The museum first opened in 1973, after residents created an exhibit to celebrate the city’s Centennial. Due to the popularity of that exhibit, the museum was created – located originally on Main Street – in 1991.
The Manassas Museum is currently on Prince William Street.
“The City of Manassas has a historic heart. We want to share this history with our residents and visitors at no cost,” stated City Manager W. Patrick Pate in a release.
According to a city release, some of the city’s programs including Spirits of Manassas and the Liberia Holiday tours will still have an admission charge, and the museum will still be accepting donations.
Any programs run by the museum are free for residents with a Manassas Museum Associates members, said a release.
The museum is open every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Labor Day.
