Intrepid After Hours

Free for military service members and veterans with advance registration. These programs are closed to civilians, including family members. 

Sharing Your Story

We are honoring the stories of veterans and current service members at Intrepid After Hours. Jessica Williams, curator of history and collections, and Dave Dzendzel, senior coordinator of the oral history project, will talk about Intrepid Museum's Oral History Project. Maryhelen Rosales, director of program development at NYC Department of Veterans’ Services, will also share information about their Veteran Voices Project. Participating veterans will then get a chance to interview each other and practice their oral histories. Learn about how you can share your stories and what you can learn from others' stories.

Boxed dinners will be served at the end of the guided program. Both indoor and outdoor seating options will be available.
