The America 250 Ohio Commission visited Lincoln Heights Elementary on Thursday, May 21, to officially announce and launch the 4th Grade History Pass Plus Program, which allows 4th grade students across Ohio to go to select museums and historic sites for free, along with three additional guests.
FOR PARENTS! Here's how to use the 4th Grade Pass Plus:
Students who completed fourth grade during the 2025-26 school year are eligible for the 4th Grade History Pass Plus. Throughout the month of July 2026, pass holders can visit any of the approximately 41 participating site across Ohio and receive free admission for themselves and up to three accompanying guests.
Here's how it works.
Get a 4th Grade History Pass. Princeton City Schools will distribute passes to every 4th grader before the end of the school year. If you lose the pass or otherwise don't receive one, you can go to America250-Ohio.org/fourth-grade-pass and download or print the pass.
Review the list of participating locations on the website. Participating museums in Hamilton County include the Cincinnati Museum Center, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, William Henry Harrison Tomb, and the Harriet Beecher Stowe House.
Present the pass while visiting the ticketing booth at the location throughout the month of July.
