Entrance PassesAn entrance pass is not required to access Steamtown National Historic Site. Other National Park Service sites may require an entrance pass or fee. Depending on your trip plans, an interagency pass may save you money. There is no entrance fee for Steamtown National Historic Site. Due to our fee-free status, we no longer issue any of the America the Beautiful National Parks & Federal Recreational Lands Passes, commonly referred to as the "National Park Passes".
