Passport to Guilford History

Each museum has its own architecture, time periods, collections, and stories to explore. When you visit all of them, you venture through nearly 400 years of history. The participating museums are the Henry Whitfield State Museum, Hyland House Museum, Thomas Griswold House Museum, Medad Stone Tavern Museum, and Dudley Farm Museum. The program is open to adults and children, and the hope is to encourage residents to visit and support the amazing history sites right in their own backyards.

To begin, visit any of the museums during regular hours to pick up a Passport (paid admission is required). Then get your Passport stamped when you tour each site. The program begins Saturday, June 1 and runs through Sunday, September 29. (Please note: check with individual sites for hours, admission, and other information.)

If you visit all five (5) museums and return your completed Passport to any of them by Sunday, September 29, 2024, you will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win one (1) of five (5) prizes. The identical prize baskets will be overflowing with museum swag and merchandise generously donated by local businesses. Five (5) winners will be randomly selected from all of the completed Passports by October 10, 2024.
