Visit. Learn. Celebrate 250 Years of American Spirit

July 1 – July 15, 2026

Welcome, Time Traveler!

Your journey through Northwest Ohio’s past starts here. The Time Travelers Passport is your guide to historic sites, museums, and landmarks participating in this special America250 celebration. Each stop offers a unique glimpse into our shared story—and a stamp to prove you were there.

​

How the Passport Works

1. Get Your Passport

Download and print your Time Travelers Passport here, or pick up a printed copy at any participating location.

2. Travel Through Time

Visit participating sites between July 1 and July 15. At each stop, explore, learn, and collect a passport stamp. Visit at least 8 locations (or more if you’re a true time-traveling overachiever).

3. Claim Your Reward

Once you’ve collected your stamps, bring your completed passport to the National Museum of the Great Lakes and receive your commemorative Time Travelers coin, proudly sponsored by [Bank Name].

 

Make It a Family Adventure

This is history without homework. Whether you tackle it in a single weekend or spread your travels out over two weeks, the Time Travelers Passport is designed to be fun, flexible, and family-friendly. Go at your own pace, choose your own route, and discover places you’ve never visited—or see old favorites in a whole new way.

 

History Is Calling

From early American pioneers to industrial innovation and cultural landmarks, every stop adds another chapter to your journey. Where will your travels take you?

Tip: If you print your passport at home, be sure to print both pages—you’ll need the venue list on the second page to plan your route and collect stamps.
