VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) — The National Music Museum in Vermillion is offering free admission this summer to active duty military personnel and their families.

The Blue Star Museum program is available from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Nationwide, more than 2,000 museums are participating in the program sponsored by the National Endowment of the Arts, Blue Star Families and the Department of Defense.

The National Music Museum’s summer 2015 exhibition might be of particular interest to military families. The exhibit “Banding Together — The American Soldier’s Music Arsenal” will showcase rare historic instruments issued to or used by U.S. soldiers throughout American military history.

The exhibition also feature rare wartime photos, posters, sheet music, uniforms and many other previously un-displayed artifacts from the museum’s extensive holdings.
