We present near-infrared H band (1.6 micron) wide field imaging polarimetry towards 26 open star clusters. All polarizations are from Mimir on the 1.8m Perkins Telescope outside Flagstaff, Arizona. These clusters in the 2nd and 3rd galactic quadrants sample a broad range in reddening (E(B-V) 0.0 - 0.9), distance (0.85 - 5.5 kpc), and age (log(t) 7.0 - 9.7). The polarizations of the member stars provide strong implications for dust grain and magnetic field properties along these lines of sight.
