Each year, more than 600,000 military families move to new communities. Blue Star Welcome Week is a national week of activation designed to ensure military families feel welcome, while also inspiring community members to do their part in supporting them.
The History of Diving Museum, located at MM 83 in Islamorada, is one of many institutions across the country participating.
Each year, the museum takes part in Blue Star Museums, offering free admission to active-duty members of the military year-round, through Sunday, Oct. 5. This complimentary admission extends to up to five family members.
On Saturday, Oct. 4 and Saturday, Oct. 11, guided tours will be included with admission for all museum guests. Tours take place at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., featuring highlights of military divers and their heroic, often dangerous work. October’s tours will also coincide with the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy.
