Blue Star Museum Summer Program

We are proud to be a Blue Star Museum [again] in 2026! Active military personnel and up to five family members can visit the CSS Neuse Museum for free from May 16 (Armed Forces Day) through September 7 (Labor Day). We appreciate your service and can’t wait for you to visit! Blue Star Museums is a partnership between the National Endowment for the Arts and Blue Star Families, in collaboration with the Department of War and museums across America, offering free admission to the nation’s active-duty military personnel and their families, including National Guard and Reserve.
