❤️On Wednesday, November 11, Chautauqua County joins communities across the nation in honoring the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces.
Their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to our country are the foundation of the freedoms we enjoy today. We also recognize the families whose love and support have stood behind our service members.

🤍Among our community, older veterans carry a lifetime of service, sacrifice, and dedication to our country.

💙 We are proud to support you, connect you with the resources you’ve earned, and ensure you can age well at home right here in Chautauqua County.

🏛️ Chautauqua County Office for Aging Services will be closed on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, in observance of Veterans Day.

We encourage residents to take time to thank a veteran, attend a local ceremony, or simply reflect on the sacrifices made by those who have served.

❤️🤍💙 To all our veterans, thank you for your service. Today and every day, we honor you.

🗓️ We will reopen on our regular schedule Thursday November 12th.

From Thursday, November 12 through Sunday, November 15, 2026, the museum is offering free admission to caregivers and the loved ones they care for. Caregivers are also welcome to visit on their own for a break and a few laughs.

Inspired by a visit Susan Sargent shared with her husband and caregiver Mitch Goldman, the program honors her memory and gives participants take-home resources for bringing more laughter and connection into everyday caregiving.
