If you are like me, you may have some vacation time coming up here at the end of the year.  And if you are an essential worker you will be able to spend your time at some of Charlotte's most popular museums  at no cost.

Yeah, this is really cool!  One of the fondest memories I have with my mom is going to various exhibits at Charlotte's Mint Museum.  Go make some family memories there because your immediate family can also come for free.

Some of the museums participating are the Mint Museum, Bechtler Museum of Modern Art and the Harvey B Gantt Center for African American Arts and Culture.  Some of the folks that can enjoy the museums for free are health care workers, teachers, custodians, transit workers and grocery store workers.  Get all the details right here
