Join OMA for our 2024 Saturday Conference Tours

Coming to Sandusky a little early for OMA 2024? Or, not able to make it to the full OMA conference but still want a great OMA 2024 experience?

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!

Note: Registration for Saturday Conference Tours are available as stand-alone tickets, or can also be added to 2024 Conference Registration during the conference registration process.
