Join us for special Veterans Day programs as part of our Centennial Weekend Celebration.

This Veterans Day marks the 100th anniversary of the Legion of Honor’s founding by Adolph B. and Alma de Bretteville Spreckels. The museum was a gift from the Spreckels family to the city of San Francisco in commemoration of the California soldiers killed in World War I. 

This patriotic themed day includes live organ concerts on the museum’s rare Spreckels Organ, docent tours, and a special lecture, The Thinker’s Place, in conjunction with the newly opened exhibition Celebrating 100 Years at the Legion of Honor

The Centennial Weekend Celebration is part of the year-long free public programs and special events coinciding with the Legion of Honor 100, commemorating the history of the museum and looking forward to its next century.
