Adkins Arboretum will waive admission fees on Sat., Sept. 24 in recognition of Smithsonian magazine’s seventh annual Museum Day. A celebration of culture, learning and the dissemination of knowledge, Museum Day reflects the free-admission policy of the Smithsonian Institution’s museums in Washington, D.C. Doors of museums and cultural institutions nationwide will be open free of charge.
The public is invited on Museum Day to explore the Arboretum’s 400 acres of native woodlands, wetlands, gardens and meadows along five miles of maintained paths. Visitors may also enjoy Water, Water and Water, an exhibit of Chinese ink and watercolor on rice paper by Kit-Keung Kan, and an audio tour that provides lessons about the Arboretum’s plant communities and ecology. A variety of ornamental native perennials, trees, shrubs and grasses will be for sale for fall planting. Arboretum hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
