Project Description
The Northwest Ohio Cultural Heritage Group (formed in 2019) is a collaborative group of archives, museums, public and private libraries, historical societies and other cultural heritage institutions in NW Ohio and has just created its first project--a passport book featuring over 50 cultural heritage institutions throughout 19 counties of Northwest Ohio. Tourists will use the book to collect "stamps" when they visit the various locations, which include museums, public libraries, academic libraries, historical societies and other cultural heritage institutions. Each institution’s section will include its logo, hours, contact information, and a brief description of their institution. The book is designed to be used throughout the 2022 calendar year and beyond.
