FREE Admission For Military
Colonial Williamsburg
Nov. 6-11
The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation continues its tradition of military outreach this Veterans Day by offering free admission to all active-duty military, reservists, veterans, retirees, National Guard members and their immediate dependents Nov. 6-11.
Special Veterans Day programming will be offered on Tuesday, Nov. 11, including a Fifes & Drums procession from the Capitol to the Governor’s Palace, followed by a moving commemoration honoring the men and women who have served in the nation’s armed forces. All veterans are warmly welcomed and encouraged to participate as the community comes together to remember their service, honor their sacrifice and celebrate the ideals they helped protect.
Tickets are available through Colonial Williamsburg’s “Honoring Service to America” program, made possible by a three-year $600,000 grant from The Home Depot Foundation as part of its ongoing commitment to improving the homes and lives of U.S. military veterans and their families. The Home Depot Foundation has provided nearly 68,500 “Honoring Service to America” tickets to military families visiting The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation on Memorial Day and Veterans Day weekends since 2015. Its most recent grant extends the foundation’s financial support through November 2029.
During their visit, active duty, retired and veterans of the military and their families are invited to visit the Liberty Lounge, located in the Historic Area directly behind the Millinery on East Duke of Gloucester Street, for complimentary refreshments and the company of fellow service men and women. The Liberty Lounge has welcomed more than 418,000 service members and their families since it opened in June of 2016.
Free “Honoring Service to America” single-day passes are available at all onsite ticket locations with proper ID. Minor dependents must be accompanied by an adult, and dependents ages 10 and older must present a valid dependent ID.Service members need not be present for qualifying guests to receive free “Honoring Service to America” tickets, which are provided to dependent family members of currently deployed troops with appropriate identification. Veterans who separated before retirement can bring a copy of their honorable discharge paperwork, form DD 214, as identification of service. Colonial Williamsburg is also proud to offer military discounts on Colonial Williamsburg hotels, dining, retail, golf and spa services.
