One of the most popular ways to collect & preserve memories of visiting America’s national parks is through the Passport To Your National Parks®. National park enthusiasts fill their “passports” with cancellations and stamps from across the country. As a program of the National Park Service, the Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area is eligible to participate & offers inked cancellations at 19 sites throughout its six counties. Together, these locations will help you explore & understand northwest Alabama’s cultural heritage. From humble birthplaces of people who went on to change the world to innovative & lively museums to quiet spots for contemplating history, these places tell MSNHA’s–and America’s–stories. Scroll down for a map of all 19 sites & individual links to each location. Site owners & staff look forward to welcoming Passport To Your National Parks® visitors. Introduce yourself, take some time to look around and then post pics & selfies with our Passport To Your National Parks® hashtag–#msnhapassport–on your favorite social-media platform. (Don’t forget to tag us & the site you visited.) One word of advice: If you’re making a special trip to a site, call or email beforehand to make sure it will be open for your visit. Happy passporting!
