Fee waiver at Monument for Veterans Nov. 11
All National Park Service sites across the country, including Pipestone National Monument, will offer free visitor admission for U.S. veterans, active members of the U.S. armed forces and their families on Wednesday, Nov. 11.
The fee waiver applies to entrance fees only on Nov. 11; commercial tour entrance fees will not be waived.
The Monument Visitor Center will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Veterans Day. These hours will be in effect every day throughout the winter months. The Pipestone Indian Shrine Association, (gift shop) located at the Visitor Center will be open the same hours.
This is a good time to visit the monument. Visitors are advised to dress warmly to walk the Circle Trail, to view the pipestone quarries and to see the Winnewissa Falls. Fall and winter photography of the prairie and wildlife can be particularly enjoyable during this quiet time of the year.
For additional information contact Pipestone National Monument at 507-825-5464 extension 214, or view the Monument’s web site at www.nps.gov/pipe.
