Mystic, Conn. (January 15, 2019) — Mystic Seaport Museum is offering free admission to all federal workers who are affected by the government shutdown (plus one additional guest) as long as the impasse lasts.
“We want federal workers to feel appreciated during this difficult period and this is our small way of ensuring we contribute positively by providing access to family activities,” said Steve White, president of Mystic Seaport Museum. “We look forward to welcoming them to our Museum.”
In order to receive free admission, federal employees must bring a government identification card and present it at the admission desk upon entering the Museum.
