Are you planning a summer vacation that includes visiting Virginia museums and historic sites? Come by the Giles County Historical Society to get your copy of the TimeTravelers Passport Guide. The TimeTravelers program of the Virginia Association of Museums encourages children and adults to visit the many historic and cultural resources that Virginia has to offer. Participating museums stamp the passports. Once the passport has 6 stamps, you can become an official Virginia TimeTraveler and receive a certificate and embroidered patch.For 2010, the program features an expanded Passport Guide that is, in itself, a souvenir of travels throughout the state. Over 100 museums are represented in the 40 page glossy book with photographs, descriptions, contact information, and a place for the passport stamp. If your plans include visits to Mount Vernon, Monticello, Colonial Williamsburg, the Virginia Historical Society, or the Virginian State Capitol, you’ll be on your way to completing your passport. If you are venturing to Roanoke to visit the Taubman Museum of Art, the O. Winston Link Museum, the Virginia Museum of Transportation, or the History Museum of Western Virginia, they will stamp your passport as well.
Even if you already have your TimeTravelers Passport Guide and are looking for an extra stamp, stop by the Historical Society. We are listed under the New River Heritage Coalition (www.newriverheritage.org), a cooperative formed by the museums of the New River Valley to share expertise, create a cohesive picture of life in the New River Valley, and collaborate on marketing efforts. Make visiting Virginia museums and historic sites part of your summer vacation!
