All Aboard for History

The “All Aboard for History!” initiative will provide 3rd-6th grade Lucas County students the opportunity to connect with the National Museum of the Great Lakes either through a complimentary visit to the museum or by our staff providing curriculum-based programming at the school.

Since 2017, the State of Ohio no longer requires k-12 testing in social studies or history. The National Museum of the Great Lakes is committed to ensuring that school systems throughout the Toledo metropolitan area have access to quality, curriculum-based experiences that promote the study of social studies and history.

Through our corporate partners and private sponsors, “All Aboard for History!” aims to bring up to 8,000 Lucas County students a year by 2024 to learn about Great Lakes History or experience our educational programs in their classrooms at no charge to the school system.
