Veterans Day Weekend at Patriots Point

Celebrate veterans this Veterans Day weekend aboard the USS Yorktown! Patriots Point will offer free admission to Veterans and active duty military from November 11 – 13. Admission to the museum includes access to the warships USS Yorktown and USS Laffey, and the three-acre Vietnam War Experience.

In addition to offering free admission to veterans, on Saturday, November 12, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the museum and the Patriots Art Foundation will host a live watercolor painting workshop featuring renowned Charleston artist Mary Whyte. Whyte and a team of artists will coach 20 veterans as they paint exhibits located aboard the USS Yorktown.

At 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on November 12, The Citadel’s Summerall Guards will perform a silent precision drill on USS Yorktown’s flight deck. The exercise will feature a unique series of movements that exemplifies the exactness and thoroughness with which military college trains its cadets.
