250th Passport

Celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the founding of the United States by discovering how your community made history from the dawn of the American Revolution to today!

This Passport to History is a collaborative effort of eight neighboring towns in Addison and Chittenden counties. Each town invites you to explore local heritage by visiting their historic sites. The towns included are:

• Addison
• Bristol
• Charlotte
• Ferrisburgh
• Lincoln
• Monkton
• New Haven
•Starksboro

A history scavenger hunt!

Each town has six historic sites to visit. You can earn a pin for a town
by visiting all sites in that town. Earn up to eight pins – they are all different! The deadline to earn pins is 10/31/2026.

All eight pins (as well as passports) can be picked up during open hours at the following places.
Be sure to check open hours before you go, as some sites have limited hours.
