Stop by to see the Ohio History Center & Ohio Village during the State Fair! Both sites will be open daily from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. This year, the Ohio History Center main lobby also will be a full Ohio State Fair entry point, including State Fair ticket sales and security screening.

The Ohio History Center & Ohio Village will be open for members for free as always. Additionally, Ohio History Connection members will enjoy discounts on Ohio State Fair tickets. Just show your membership card at the fair gate and receive two FREE Admission tickets.

Our members must acquire their two free fair tickets in person at any official State Fair gate and must present their membership card. Additional tickets may be purchased at regular price or with other discounts. The offer is not valid for tickets purchased online or in advance. If members choose to visit only our campus, they will not receive an Ohio State Fair handstamp; however the full security screening for State Fair entry is required.
