Free First Sunday is a partnership program among several downtown Baton Rouge museums that gives families an opportunity to visit local museums free of charge. Along with free, self-guided tours of both the ship and museum, there will be arts & crafts, aquatic animals, and more throughout the day. The USS KIDD Veterans Museum opens its doors to the community free of charge every first Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. “Themed ” activities take place from noon until 4:00 p.m. in the museum lobby.
Free First Sundays are made possible by corporate and foundation sponsors. Underwriters are recognized in marketing and publicity material and on signage throughout the museum.
Underwriters are also welcome to host an information table providing information or marketing to potentially 7,000 people annually.
