Group friendly! Open to the public!
Free admission on Monday, May 25, courtesy of John Templeton Foundation. Join us at 12 p.m. on Memorial Day for a special flag raising ceremony, in accordance with U.S. tradition.
Originally known as Decoration Day, an occasion to honor soldiers who gave their lives during the American Civil War, the Memorial Day civic holiday now honors all members of the military who have given their lives in defense of the Constitution and its legacy of freedom. During Memorial Day Weekend, the National Constitution Center will pay tribute to those brave men and women by exploring how Americans today honor our military heroes.
Memorial Day Weekend activities include daily flag ceremonies, patriotic arts and crafts, and Thank-A-Vet postcards.
$13 Tickets available Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24!
