**FREE ADMISSION to Virginia Museum Tranportation Museum during these opening events, usually about $8, but it’s not after them!
**ADMISSION IS ALSO FREE AT the Car Less Brit Museum wonder-filled grand opening, but for this museum it will be free afterwards as well —he’s got far more money than he knows what to lose it on —the tough thing will be finding a time after the grand opening when the museum’s actually open for viewing!

or enjoy free vintage transit ride provided by the Commonwealth Coach & Trolley Museum
and for food…
*custom-made British cuisine at Car Less Brit Museum
* Maggie Moo’s ice cream at VA Museum of Transportation.
