Taps at the Tower – every night this week at dusk

Taps, a musical piece sounded at dusk and at funerals, has a rich and storied history in the United States. It has long been associated with the U.S. Military, and is often played at civilian events around the country.

The National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial presents Taps at the Tower each evening at sunset nightly through Saturday, June 28. Taps at the Tower links the beauty and simplicity of the Taps bugle call with the symbolism of the Museum. The Museum will remain open each evening until 8:30 p.m. The event will occur rain or shine. In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony will be moved to the glass bridge inside the Museum.
