This upcoming weekend you can visit one of the many  museums in the United States, including some of the nation’s finest museums. In fact the  Smithsonian magazine will sponsor free visits on a certain day “in the spirit of Smithsonian Museums,” which offer free admission every day. It calls the event Museum Day Live!, and this year it falls on Saturday, Sept. 28.
However not every museum chooses to participate. Luckily many of the nation’s finest aviation museums are participating to this initiative. According to Smithsonian about 1,500 museums of all types are participating.
