Visitors Bureau celebrates America250 with a new history pass
The United States is celebrating its 250th birthday in 2026. Miami County is proud of its history and heritage and the people who have impacted its forward progress, and we are excited to celebrate America250! Over the next year+, through events, programming and projects, Miami County communities and organizations will be telling the stories of the events, people and places who have impacted Ohio and the country during the American Revolutionary War and beyond.
To celebrate America250 and the area’s history, the Miami County Visitors and Convention Bureau (MCVCB) has launched the Miami County History Pass. This pass is a free digital guide designed to take residents and visitors on a journey to local museums, historic sites, murals and sculptures. Users will be able to check in at participating locations to earn prizes. The pass is part of a broader push to connect people with the region’s deep history through interactive experiences.
With over 30 locations on the pass, this is sure to be a fun, educational way to learn about Miami County history. This is a mobile-exclusive pass that is delivered via text or email. Once an account is created, users can save the pass to their home screen and begin their journey. Participants earn points by checking in at locations which can then be redeemed for prizes. All Miami County History Trail participants must be 18 years of age or older. To sign up, visit https://www.homegrowngreat.com/trails/miami-county-history-pass/.
“We’re proud to celebrate and be part of America250,” said Leiann Stewart, MCVCB executive director. “And we’re excited to help connect people to the stories, places, and traditions that make Miami County such an important part of Ohio – and America’s – history. Happy Trails!”
