On Saturday, September 26, 2015, individuals will have an opportunity to visit the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center with FREE admission. The museum will participate in the twelfth annual Museum Day Live! presented by Smithsonian magazine. On Museum Day, selected cultural institutions and museums nationwide open their doors free of charge to Smithsonian magazine readers and the Smithsonianmag.com website visitors for a celebration of learning.

“We’re delighted to be part of this celebration again. A number of years ago we served on the Southeastern Regional Advisory Committee when the new Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian was planned, so our relationship with the Smithsonian has been long and rewarding. We support the concept for Museum Day and have been pleased to have visitors and local individuals take advantage of it over the years.” – Carl Bornfriend, Executive Director of the Frisco Native American Museum.

Attendees must present Smithsonian magazine’s Museum Day Admission Card to gain free entry to participating institutions. The card is available in the September 2015 issue of Smithsonian magazine as well as a ticket that can be printed from home or shown on a smart phone screen that is can be acquired by visiting the Smithsonian Museum Day Live! website.

Visitors to the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center can also explore the nature trail which is available during day light hours. The trail includes a dugout canoe in progress. The canoe, shaped from a ten foot Cyprus log, will be part of a village planned for the nature trail. Individuals are pictured below scraping the interior of the log.
