Morven Park is pleased to announce that it is participating again in the annual Time Travelers program. The program was developed as a state-wide project to stimulate interest in and visitation to Virginia's historic attractions. This year, more than 150 museums and historic sites in Virginia will be participating in the program.

Virginia Time Travelers is a pilot project developed by the Virginia History Initiative and now under the auspices of the Virginia Cultural Coordinating Committee. The program uses passports, discounts, and a reward system to encourage students and their families to visit Virginia museums and historic sites.

Over 350,000 "passports" were distributed to students across the state. Each passport contains a list of participating museums and historic sites grouped by region, a map showing site locations, and a space for students to collect stamps.

Bring your TimeTravelers passport with you when you visit between March 1 and November 1. When you have stamps from six different sites, mail us a photocopy of your passport showing your stamps and your name and address before November 15. We will then mail you a signed certificate stating that you are an official Virginia TimeTraveler. For a fee of $7 (shipping and handling) we will also mail you an official TimeTravelers T-shirt. Remember to keep your original passport with your collection of unique stamps from the places you visit.

Morven Park will be providing each student with a passport and stamp when they tour or download the PDF version. Part of the tour also includes a worksheet that students and their families can complete upon finishing their visit. Tour hours are Friday - Monday, Noon - 4:00PM.

This is a wonderful program for families in Virginia. Not only can they tour Morven Park Mansion, Museum of Hounds and Hunting and the Winmill Carriage Collection but they can also walk the beautiful grounds and picnic on site in the picnic area.
