Each year, 50 to 150 Northeast Ohio residents gather in the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum at the Cleveland History Center for a naturalization ceremony to become U.S. citizens. Many of these individuals take their Oath of Allegiance with friends and family by their side. The Oath of Allegiance is a tradition that dates back to the 18th century.

This rare off-site Naturalization Ceremony celebrates the newest members of the community. Judge Dan Polster will preside over the ceremony beginning at 10AM. All are welcome to witness this moment with museum admission.

Western Reserve Historical Society is the oldest cultural institution in Northeast Ohio, the region's largest American history research center, and one of the leading genealogical research centers in the nation.
