Teacher Appreciation Weekend

Educators, here's a well-deserved treat! The National WWI Museum and Memorial is opening its doors completely free to all K-12 teachers this weekend. Simply bring your school badge to the ticketing counter, and you'll have full access to explore the museum's galleries and exhibitions at your own pace. It's a wonderful opportunity to experience the exhibits firsthand, whether you're looking for classroom inspiration or just want to enjoy a enriching day out. This is a genuine thank-you to the educators who shape young minds—no tricks, no strings attached. Spend as much or as little time as you'd like wandering through the collections and learning more about World War I history and its lasting impact on society. Whether you're seeking fresh teaching ideas or simply want a peaceful afternoon of discovery, this weekend offers the perfect chance to connect with the museum's rich resources and legacy.
