Summer Heritage Passport Returns The Columbia-Montour Visitors Bureau’s Summer Heritage Passport has returned for 2022. This year’s trail is entirely digital, and takes participants on a journey through the history, culture, and stories of Columbia & Montour Counties and beyond. The Heritage Passport program is valid now through Labor Day (Monday, September 5th). At each of the stops, passport holders will use their mobile device to check in, indicating their attendance at that location. Travelers who visit at least three stops this year will receive a commemorative embroidered patch, sent in the mail. Those individuals who visit at least 12 stops will be entered to win one of six prize basket bundles, each filled with re- gional gift cards, books of ride tickets from Knoebels Amusement Resort, historical books, puzzles, and local goodies. Anyone who visits at least 16 of the locations will receive a double entry for the grand prizes. Two of the baskets will be geared toward youth participants, so parents and grandparents are encouraged to use the summer passport as an educational summer adventure with their young ones while school is out of session. Each of the twenty participating locations holds a unique experience for visitors, from Bill’s Old Bike Barn to the Ber- wick Historical Society’s Jackson Mansion. The majority of the stops on the summer passport can be found in either Columbia or Montour Counties, or within a short drive. Other participating locations include: the Barton House at the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds, the Bloomsburg Children’s Museum, the Columbia County Historical & Genealogical Society, the History Buffs of Northeast Pennsylvania’s monthly historical speaker series, the International Harvester Collectors Museum in Millville, the Jane E. DeLong Memorial Hall in Washingtonville, Danville’s Montgomery and Boyd Houses, the historic Mooresburg School, the Pioneer Tunnel Coal Mine in Ashland, and the Thomas Beaver Free Library in Danville. Berwick’s new Stuart Tank Memorial Museum is also on the list, as are Eagles Mere’s three museums: the Eagles Mere Air Museum, Eagles Mere Auto Museum, and Eagles Mere Museum. And visitors to Knoebels Amusement Resort will be able to check in at the park’s three museums (Carousel, History, and Mining). There is no cost to sign up for the passport, but admission fees may apply at several of the locations. Please call or visit participants’ websites for complete hours of operation. If families are participating, it is recommended that each family member signs up individually for their own copy of the pass. A valid email address is required, as the passport will be accessed via a link sent to the passholder. No app downloads are required. Sign up today !
