Rio Grande County Museum is pleased to announce our participation in the nationwide Blue Star Program.  The Blue Star program is a collaboration among the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense and more than 2,000 museums across the United States.  This is the tenth season for this program and Rio Grande County Museum has participated for seven seasons.  Many of the other San Luis Valley Museums also participate in the program.  The following museums in southern Colorado are participating:

Rio Grande County Museum
Fort Garland Museum

The 2019 program will start on Armed Forces Day, Saturday, May 18, 2019 and runs through Labor Day, Monday, September 2, 2019.  As a Blue Star Museum, we are part of a national appreciation program for military families and all those who have served our country through military service. Exhibits of the Civil War, World War I and the stories of the Rio Grande County servicemen who didn’t return home from  World War II will be included in the Armed Forces Day celebration.

The Rio Grande County Museum is proud to be able to honor our active and retired military along with those who served with this program and with proper documentation, the admission fee to the museum is waived.  The museum extends this for the entire year.  
​
For more information, please contact Rio Grande County Museum at (719)657-2847 or our Facebook page. The museum is located at 580 Oak Street in Del Norte. The hours are Tuesday through Friday 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and on Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
