Hit the road with your Ohio History Passport! Visit sites. Earn pins. Wear proudly.

Let’s go on an Ohio History Adventure! We created the Ohio History Passport to help guide you through amazing journeys and encounters across Ohio as you explore our historic sites and museums. Within the Passport, you’ll find helpful information and a trivia question about each Ohio History Connection site.

And we’ve made the Passport even more fun with rewards for completing each region!

Here’s how it works:

• Get a stamp or rubbing from all the sites in a region: Central, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast or Southwest.
• Take your Passport to one of our Passport Checkpoint Sites for verification. Be sure to check the operating days and times before heading to a site.
  • Central: Ohio History Center
  • Northeast: Schoenbrunn Village
  • Northwest: Armstrong Air & Space Museum
  • Southeast: Campus Martius Museum
  • Southwest: Fort Ancient Earthworks & Nature Preserve
    • Please note: You can verify any region at any of our Passport Checkpoint Sites. For example, if you complete the Southeast region, you can take your passport to the Armstrong Air & Space Museum for verification.
  • The Membership Department will send you a regional pin. Visit every site in our Passport to collect all five pins!

Please note that depending on when you got your Passport, there may be a few different pages that reflect small changes in our site system. Please check our site list for the most up to date list of the historic sites and museums that are part of our site network. Passport validators are aware of the differences and will validate sympathetically in these situations.
