Admission to Heart Mountain Interpretive Center will be free on Nov. 28, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. However, in recognition of ongoing coronavirus safety concerns, guests must schedule their visit in advance.
Offering free admission after Thanksgiving is a longstanding tradition, said Heart Mountain Executive Director Dakota Russell.
“We always look forward to our local supporters bringing their family and friends in town for the holiday,” Russell said.
Rather than canceling the event due to COVID-19 this year, Heart Mountain is requesting that guests make an appointment to visit ahead of time. Reservations will prevent overcrowding and allow guests to practice appropriate social distancing. Visitors are also asked to wear a mask while inside the center.
Heart Mountain Interpretive Center tells the story of some 14,000 Japanese Americans incarcerated in Wyoming from 1942 to 1945. The center is located on U.S. Highway 14-A, and is currently open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, for groups of no more than 16 people.
Heart Mountain Interpretive Center will be closed Thanksgiving Day, the entire week of Dec. 20-26, and on New Year’s Day.
Reservations for the Family Free Day event can be made at book.heartmountain.org/appointment, by emailing info@heartmountain.org, or by calling 307-754-8000.
