Time Travelers reciprocal museums, listed by state

Time Travelers is a reciprocal network of history museums, historical societies and heritage sites. Benefits are set by each institution rather than centrally, so they range from free admission to member discounts. It covers history museums, historical societies and heritage sites. You do not join it separately and it does not come with its own card: the membership card from the institution where you are a member is the one you show.

Look for the Time Travelers logo on your membership card, or check the membership page of the institution where you joined. Not every membership level includes it, and it is often attached to a family or higher tier rather than the cheapest one.

This program publishes no single distance rule, but individual institutions set their own and many exclude venues close to the one where you are a member. Check with the place you plan to visit before you go.

We list 524 museums and historic sites across 45 states, and the roster changes as institutions join and leave. Every place on this page has been checked against the official program roster rather than assumed from its category.

General admission, normally for the people named on the card. Special exhibitions, planetarium and large format theater shows, parking, timed tickets and store discounts are usually excluded unless the venue says otherwise. Guests are not covered unless they hold a valid card of their own.

Usually yes, shown together with photo ID. The card has to be the one issued by the institution where you are a member, and the name on it has to match your ID. A screenshot of a member list is not a membership card.
