QUANTICO, Va. — The National Museum of the Marine Corps says it will open later than usual on Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2025. The announcement, posted to the museum’s Facebook page, notes a noon opening. The museum is normally open 9 a.m.–5 p.m. daily with free admission and parking.

The delayed opening comes as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is slated to address a rare gathering of senior military leaders at Marine Corps University on base Tuesday. While the event is closed to the public, Potomac Local is checking whether commuters and visitors should expect heavier gate traffic or temporary changes on roads serving the base and the museum.


Stafford

The county has secured more than $10.25 million in federal funding to address chronic flooding along a stretch of Brooke Road, known as the “S-Curves.” The money comes from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s PROTECT Grant Program, which aims to tackle disasters such as flooding and extreme weather.

About 450 residents rely on this road daily—it’s the only way in or out of their neighborhood. It’s also a busy route to the VRE station and local parks.
