Eagle Cane Project at Wilson House for Museum Walk Weekend -
June 5 & 6 - FREE ADMISSION

On Saturday, June 5 and Sunday, June 6 from 1-4 PM Woodrow Wilson House will be hosting members of the Eagle Cane Project who will be demonstrating their cane carving skills during the Dupont-Kalorama Museum Walk Weekend. The Eagle Cane Project was founded in 2004 to provide wounded post-9-11 veterans who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan with symbolic presentation canes as artistic representations of support and respect. Each cane features a handle based upon an eagle head design, personalized for the veteran. This event is being offered in connection with Wilson House’s current exhibition, My Third Leg: Woodrow Wilson’s Walking Sticks, which showcases 50 of President Wilson’s most prized walking sticks, including imaginative folk art canes carved by veterans of previous wars.

Woodrow Wilson House offers free admission to military personnel and their families this summer!

Woodrow Wilson House is pleased to be a participating member of the Blue Star Museums partnership to offer free admission to all active duty military personnel and their families from Memorial Day through Labor Day 2010.

Blue Star Museums (a partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, and more than 650 museums across America) is a free admission program available to active duty military and their immediate family members (military ID holder and five immediate family members), which includes active duty Reserve and active duty National Guard. Although some special or limited-time museum exhibitions may not be included in this national free admission program, Woodrow Wilson House is happy to include free admission to “My Third Leg”: Woodrow Wilson’s Walking Sticks.
