This weekend, the National Constitution Center has a number of events planned for Memorial Day, with special activities all about the history of the holiday.

Visitors can check out the Center’s main exhibition, the Story of We the People (pictured above), as well as some new programs planned just for the weekend. This includes Memorials: How a Nation Remembers, a 20-minute, interactive program that tells the history of monuments across the country. The Center is also hosting a unique craft making workshop, where families can create their own Memorial Day poppy pins and star memorial wreathes.

This weekend also marks the first anniversary of the Pennsylvania Liberty Tree dedication. You can listen to the story of the Liberty Tree during an interactive presentation at 11am and 1pm, all weekend long.

Everything during this celebration is free with regular museum admission.
