Sample Trail of Tears stamp

 

The popular Passport to Your National Parks program is available at sites on the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail.

A variety of trail partners offer the passport stamp for trail travelers.

We suggest that you verify directions and hours of operation to be sure you can get the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail stamp.

You can order a "Passport to Your National Parks" book by visiting eparks.com.

 

The sites are listed alphabetically by state and then by site. Currently there are statewide stamps - a program for site-specific stamps is under development. List updated 03/29/2012.
