See more of the region and join us Saturday, April 13 for two great options for Saturday tours!

In honor of our location in Sandusky on the beautiful Lake Erie coast, we are offering two Saturday tour opportunities:

  • Our "Shore" tour is a drive-and-explore-on-your-own opportunity for attendees to make their own schedule and map their own trip as they explore seven museums around the shoreline.

  • Our "Island" tour is an organized field trip to Lake Erie's beautiful South Bass Island. Attendees will take the Miller Ferry from Port Clinton and enjoy a full day of exploration and fun at six museums in Put-In-Bay.

See the OMA News section for more information on our "Shore" and "Island" tours and to register!
