Shafer Baillie Celebrates Free Museum Day!

Brought to you by the Smithsonian Magazine, National Free Museum Day is back on September 21, 2019! This annual tradition invites everyone to spend the day exploring a museum, and asks the question: where will your curiosity take you?

This year’s theme celebrates the “Smithsonian Year of Music”. Throughout 365 days, the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC will be putting on performances, art exhibits, and workshops that focus on the different ways music is expressed through art, history, culture, science and education.

The Smithsonian makes it easier than ever to take advantage of this tradition. Find a museum, register your email address here, and you’ll receive a voucher for you and a plus-one!

Here are some exciting museums that are participating near Shafer Baillie Mansion- speaking of which, we would love to give you and your plus-one a soft bed and hot breakfast before you start your Museum Day! Guests can book online or give us a call at (206) 322-4654.
