Oak Hill & The Martha Berry Museum is participating in the Smithsonian magazine’s 14th annual Museum Day Saturday (Sept. 22) allowing visitors free entrance.
Museum Day represents a nationwide commitment to access, equity and inclusion with well over 250,000 people who downloaded tickets for last year’s event. The theme of this year’s Museum Day is “Women Making History,” honoring women in society who are trailblazers in the arts, sciences, innovation and culture, and emboldening others to be pioneers as well.
"Having the opportunity to host Smithsonian Museum Day at Oak Hill & The Martha Berry Museum helps us honor a woman who was a pioneer in the field of education in an area of the state that still today benefits from her innovation and drive," said Alice Stevens, education and public service manager of Oak Hill & The Martha Berry Museum.
The museum will be open from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., and tours will be offered of the Oak Hill home at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. that day. For entry, visitors must present a Museum Day ticket which are available to download for free at Smithsonian.com/MuseumDay. One ticket is permitted per email address allowing access for two individuals.
