Your Journey Starts Here:
Becoming a Time Traveler is simple—and a whole lot of fun. Whether you’re exploring with family, friends, or on your own, the Time Travelers Passport guides you step by step through Northwest Ohio’s past. Just grab a passport, start exploring, and collect stamps along the way. Follow the three easy steps below and see where history takes you!
Grab Your Passport
Start your journey by downloading a Time Travelers Passport or picking one up at any participating location. This document is your official license to time travel—don’t lose it!
Travel Through Time
​Visit at least 8 of our 12 historic sites (or go for the full dozen if you’re a true Time Traveler). Get your passport stamped at each stop as you explore the stories, people, and places that shaped our region over the last 250 years.
Claim Your Treasure
Once your passport is stamped, bring it to the National Museum of the Great Lakes and collect your commemorative Time Travelers coin—proof that you’ve completed the journey and officially conquered time itself.
Join the Celebration
Across the country, Americans are planning unique and exciting ways to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
The Ohio Commission for the Semiquincentennial (also known as America 250-Ohio Commission or AM 250-OH) has compiled upcoming milestones and opportunities to plan, encourage, develop, and coordinate the commemoration of the two hundred fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the United States and the impact of Ohioans on the nation’s past, present, and future.
Proudly Sponsored by Our Community Partners
The Time Travelers Passport program is made possible through the generous support of our sponsors, HolyToledoHistory.com and Toledo Public Schools.
Their commitment to community, education, and local heritage helps bring history to life for families, students, and explorers of all ages. Thanks to their partnership, we’re able to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary by opening doors to the people and places that shaped Northwest Ohio.
