NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Oct. 24, 2024 – The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum will honor active-duty and retired armed services members with free museum admission on Veterans Day, Monday, Nov. 11.

Between 10 a.m. and noon in the museum’s Taylor Swift Education Center, visitors will also have the opportunity to share appreciation for our military members and their families by creating postcards for active-duty troops. There is a long history of country music stars serving in the United States military, including Country Music Hall of Fame members Johnny Cash, George Jones, Willie Nelson and Elvis Presley, along with many others. Through A Million Thanks, a nonprofit organization that provides support to military members, cards will be mailed to those serving overseas.
