About the Program
About the Program
The Miles for Museums Summer Passport Program was created by the Eastern Cabarrus Historical Society in 2023 to encourage community members and visitors to explore local museums and discover the rich history of our region. In 2024, the program expanded with a redesigned passport and interactive map created by the Matthews Heritage Museum, followed by the launch of a dedicated website in 2025.
Throughout the summer, participants visit participating museums, collect passport stamps, and enjoy fun, educational adventures across the region, with a chance to win prizes.
