Free Fourth Grade History Pass

The Garst Museum is opening its doors to fourth-graders who want to take a different look at history. Get an up-close look at why Greenville is known as the Treaty City through the Crossroads of Destiny exhibit. Learn why Annie Oakley was important to Darke County and the world. See and hear why Lowell Thomas's contribution to the new media shaped how we view the world today. Those are only a few of the lessons fourth graders can learn when they visit the Garst Museum.

The Fourth Grade History Pass is a 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 the 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 the Garst Museum. The student must be accompanied by a paid adult general admission and must visit the museum on or before August 31, 2026.
