Starting Sept. 1, anyone 17 or under will get free admission to the Heinz History Center. That’s thanks to an $11.5 million gift from Daniel G. and Carole L. Kamin, the local philanthropists who recently made large gifts to the Carnegie Science Center and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. The History Center announced the new gift Tuesday at an event in the museum’s big first-floor space, right next to the Daniel G. and Carole L. Kamin Plaza, a space outside the Center’s cafe.
