Patrick Henry’s Red Hill Joins Smithsonian Magazine’s Annual Museum Day Live!

Patrick Henry’s Red Hill will open its doors free of charge on Saturday, September 28, as part of Smithsonian Magazine’s ninth annual Museum Day Live! A nationwide event, Museum Day Live! offers free admission to visitors presenting a Museum Day Live! ticket at a participating museum or cultural institution.

Inclusive by design, the event represents Smithsonian’s commitment to make learning and the spread of knowledge accessible to everyone, giving museums across all 50 states the opportunity to emulate the admission policy of the Smithsonian museums in Washington, D.C. Last year’s event drew over 400,000 participants, and this year’s event expects record-high participation.

Red Hill was Patrick Henry’s last home and burial place. Red Hill is the National Memorial for Patrick Henry and his life and home. Exhibiting Patrick Henry’s restored artwork, buildings, and the nationally ranked Osage orange tree, Red Hill offers tours, special events and school outreach programs. Open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed on Thanksgiving Day. For more information about Red Hill-Patrick Henry National Memorial, call (434) 376-2044 or visit www.redhill.org.
