While you are unwinding during the holiday break, bring the whole family for a visit to The James Monroe Museum, and to the Gari Melchers Home and Studio! Both sites are extending free admission to include the immediate family members of current faculty and staff during the break from December 16-January 2. All faculty and staff also receive a 20% discount in the stores at both sites year round! We hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to visit these wonderful cultural resources administered by UMW.
