The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and The Home Depot Foundation offer free admission for military families during the month of May
The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and The Home Depot Foundation continue their tradition of military outreach by 
offering free admission to all active-duty military, reservists, veterans, retirees, National Guard members and their immediate dependents for the entire month of May.
Since 2015, “Honoring Service to America” tickets have been distributed to military families visiting Colonial Williamsburg museums on Memorial Day and Veterans Day weekends. This year, in honor of America’s 250th anniversary, the offer has been extended from May 1-31.
Tickets are available through Colonial Williamsburg’s “Honoring Service to America” program, made possible by a generous $200,000 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. This year’s grant represents a $50,000 increase in financial support over the previous year.
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.
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. Additional information on Colonial Williamsburg’s military outreach is available at colonialwilliamsburg.org/military.
