Inside the museum, we’ll have free cake and refreshments, along with an opportunity for you to see the exhibit Mandela: The Official Exhibition, for free. The evening will culminate with a long awaited, spectacular fireworks display!
Parking for this event will be free and plentiful in the Fan Field lot on Research Parkway, directly across from the Bush Library and Museum.

Students who participated in the College Station ISD coloring contest that featured the front of the Bush Library and Museum and the 4141 Locomotive will be able to see the winning entries, which will be on display in the classroom.
