Passport Ready | Destination: Summer

ARE YOU A FAN OF TREASURE HUNTS?

Maybe you’re a collector, or you simply love a great road trip. This summer, embark on an exciting journey from Maine to Rhode Island and collect stamps in your Historic New England Passport. With a dedicated page for each of our historic houses, estates, and farms, traveling with our Passport promises an adventure at every stop.

At each site, our welcoming staff will stamp your Passport with a distinctive design showcasing a feature or object unique to the location. And the best part? Once you’ve filled your Passport, you’ll receive a special prize you won’t find anywhere else.

Gather your favorite travel companions, cue up a playlist, and get ready for an unforgettable experience. Remember, this exciting opportunity is a Historic New England member benefit, so make sure you’ve renewed your membership for the 2024 season!

Creative ways our members have filled their Passports:

✭ Traveled to all the sites via public transportation

✭ Traveled to all the sites by motorcycle

✭ Completed the Passport in one season

✭ Published a blog post after each visit

How are you completing your Passport? We’d love to hear about it! Tag us @HistoricNewEngland on Instagram, Threads, or TikTok or email us at Magazine@HistoricNewEngland.org.

All thirty-eight Historic New England sites are open for the season! Grab your Passport–and your friends–and plan your visits this summer.

Need a new Passport? Time to renew your membership? Contact your membership team at 617-9945910 or Membership@HistoricNewEngland.org and they’ll help you get ready to explore all that Historic New England has to offer!

We can’t stamp your Passport in Vermont, but Historic New England members receive FREE reciprocal admission to the Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont History! Founded in 1884, it’s the oldest community-based museum in the United States.
