This is one in a set of six trading cards given away at Cleveland, Ohio area McDonald's restaurants in 1974. Each card features a McDonaldland character visiting a cultural center of interest. On back is a description of each location, operating hours and a discount offer on some of them. These cards are slightly larger than baseball cards. I think these were a late Spring, end-of-school-year, give-away to promote fun Summer activities for kids.
Featured here is "The Grimace" at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
Note that he's referred to as *The* Grimace here, less than a year after his transformation from the four-armed "Evil Grimace".
Featured here is Mayor McCheese at Hale Farm & Western Reserve Village in Bath, Ohio in Summit County.
Featured here is Big Mac at the Cleveland Health Museum and Education Center.
