This Museum Monday, we'd like to send a heartfelt THANK YOU to the military families who have visited the Big Well Museum through the Blue Star Museums program this summer.

From curious kids counting stairs to visitors standing in awe at the nation's largest hand-dug well, we've loved sharing the stories of Greensburg with families who serve our country every day.

The Blue Star Museums program provides free admission to active-duty military personnel and their families from Armed Forces Day through Labor Day, and we're proud to be a participating museum.

To all of our Blue Star guests—thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and for choosing to spend part of your summer with us. We hope you've enjoyed exploring the Big Well, the Space Wanderer meteorite, and the remarkable story of Greensburg's rebirth.

Explore the historic Big Well in Greensburg, KS!
