FEATURED EVENTS

The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site invites you to join us virtually for a Veterans Day Salute to all American Veterans past and present on Tuesday, November 11, 2025 starting at 5:30 and ending at sunset. The Presidential Site is organizing a live virtual event, to be broadcast from the porch of the 23rd President, Benjamin Harrison. At sunset, a lone bugler from the Indiana National Guard will sound Taps to honor all veterans who have passed. We will broadcast the event from the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site on Facebook Live. We hope the bugle call inspires everyone who hears it to pause and reflect on the dedication and important service of our veterans, and how their efforts have helped preserve the American system of self-government we enjoy today. Please join us in this honoring of veterans past and present—and if you are a veteran, please know how grateful we are for your service!

The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum and the Springfield Science Museum will open early, with some exhibits will be modified to provide an opportunity for people with a range of differing abilities to experience what these Museums have to offer. Our trained staff and volunteers will be on hand to answer any questions you have and, if necessary, direct you to a quiet space that provides a chance to cool down and take a break. Sensory-friendly crafts for all ages will be available in the Cat’s Corner. Parents and caregivers must stay with their children at all times.
