At the Durham Museum a patriotic celebration kicks off Veterans Day weekend and the opening of Beyond Combat: World War I Through the Lens of “Doc” Cook.

At 1PM, the Offutt Air Force Base Honor Guard will set the stage for a day of remembrance with the presentation of colors followed by the national anthem and an armed forces salute by the U.S. Air Force Heartland of America Band that pays tribute to our brave veterans.

Guests can enjoy a craft activity at The Platform where they will create their own poppy and learn more about why the flower is known as a symbol of remembrance around the world.

This drop-in activity is FREE for museum members; regular admission applies for non-members. (Adults: $15*
Seniors (62+): $12*, Children (ages 3 – 12): $8* *plus tax)

Veterans and their immediate family enjoy complimentary admission all weekend long in observance of Veterans Day. Veterans can also enjoy a FREE hot dog meal at the Soda Fountain both days.
