Sounds like a great reason to visit a local museum!
“The Smithsonian is free every day, so in the spirit of sharing the wealth Smithsonian magazine has once again organized its annual free museum day this Saturday at hundreds of participating cultural centers around the nation. To attend, you must go to the event website, fill out some basic information — like your name and address — and print out an admission card, which will be good for you and a guest. Three caveats: The offer is good for Saturday only; the limit is one per household; and the card can be used just once — so forget any plans for a day of museum-hopping.
Even with those restrictions, this is a great deal. In Massachusetts, for instance, there are more than 50 participating locations, including the MFA, Museum of Science, JFK Presidential Library and Museum, New Bedford Whaling Museum, Worcester Art Museum, and Heritage Museum and Gardens. Here’s the complete list [in Massachusetts].
Let’s say you’re planning to do a little leaf-peeping this weekend. There are other participating museum around New England. In Little Rhody there are more than a dozen; New Hampshire has eight; Maine ;21; Vermont 17; and Connecticut 20.”
