Calendar

The Lapham-Patterson House will open its doors free of charge to all Museum Day ticketholders on Saturday, September 18 from 10am until 3pm as part of Smithsonian Magazine’s annual Museum Day. Tours available at 10am, 11am, 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm. Museum Day is a national celebration of boundless curiosity in which participating museums emulate the free admission policy at the Smithsonian Institution’s Washington DC-based museums. Visitors who present a Museum Day ticket will gain free entrance for two at a participating venue of their choice. One ticket is permitted per email address and tickets may only be used at one location. Additional guests not included in the Museum Day ticketing will be charged regular admission rates. A list of participating museums, which will be continually updated as more museums continue to register, can be found at Smithsonian.com/museumday/search.
