Those lazy days of summer can be challenging for both parents and students! Looking for something to do that is both fun and educational? Students who were in Grade 4 last school year can visit the Garst Museum and other participating museums free of charge.
The Fourth Grade History Pass is a new program sponsored by America 250-Ohio, the official state commission responsible for leading Ohio’s celebrations around America’s semi-quincentennial in 2026. Ohio’s school history curriculum focuses on the historical, geographical, governmental, and economic aspects of their state and nation. A visit and tour of Garst Museum provides an immersive experience that goes beyond the classroom.
Students may obtain their free pass (digital or printed) by visiting the America 250-Ohio website or asking for the pass at Garst Museum. The student must be accompanied by a paid adult general admission and must visit the museum on or before August 31. On September 1, Garst Museum will again offer this program for students just beginning their fourth-grade school year with it continuing until August 31, 2025.
