The Ohio History Center 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.
