FAQs from Miles for Museums:

What is the Miles for Museums Program?
The Miles for Museums Summer Passport Program is a fun, family-friendly initiative
that encourages visitors to explore local museums and learn about the rich history of our
region. Created by the Eastern Cabarrus Historical Society in 2023, the program invites
participants to collect stamps at participating museums throughout the summer. Along
the way, you’ll enjoy educational adventures, and have the chance to win a grand prize.

How do I participate?
It’s easy! Start by picking up a passport at any participating museum or downloading
one. Then, visit participating museums throughout the summer and collect a stamp
at each location you explore. The more stamps you collect, the closer you get to winning
fun prizes.

Is there a cost to participate?
No! The program is free to join!

How long does the program run?
The program runs from the end of May (Memorial Day Weekend) through Labor Day. Be
sure to get all your stamps and submit your completed passport by September 12th.

Can I visit museums in any order?
Yes! Visit the participating museums in any order and at your own pace throughout the
summer.

Do I have to live in the area to participate?
No! Everyone is welcome—locals, day-trippers, and out-of-town visitors.
