Deering Estate, a miamidadeparks Heritage Park, announced it will join museums nationwide in the Blue Star Museums initiative, a program that provides free admission to active U.S. military personnel and their families. 

The program begins on Armed Forces Day, Saturday, May 20th, and ends on Labor Day, Monday, September 4th. 

“Deering Estate is an important historic and cultural site of South Florida,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “We are proud to provide military personnel and their families the opportunity to visit and experience the historic site and museum as part of the national Blue Star Museums initiative.” 

“Designated as one of seven Miami-Dade County Heritage Parks, Deering Estate has a vital role in the community’s history, environment and in providing recreational and cultural experiences,” said Miami-Dade County Parks Director Maria I. Nardi. “We invite military personnel and their families to enjoy a day at Deering Estate this summer.” 

Blue Star Museums is a partnership between the National Endowment for the Arts neaarts and bluestarfamilies, in collaboration with the Department of Defense and participating museums across America.

“We thank the 2023 Blue Star Museums who invite military personnel and their families to experience the many wonders they have to offer, whether it’s a glimpse into the past, an encounter with awe-inspiring art, or a moment of discovery,” said Maria Rosario Jackson, PhD, chair of the National Endowment for the Arts. “Deering Estate is helping to enrich the lives of military families and build meaningful connections between our nation’s military and their local community.”

Blue Star Museums include children’s museums, art, science, and history museums, zoos, gardens, lighthouses, and more, and hail from all 50 states, District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The current list of participating museums will continue to develop over the summer as organizations are welcome to register to be a Blue Star Museum throughout the summer.
