NPS/WC While Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail does not have a dedicated Visitor Center, you can still get your National Parks Passport stamped! You can get it stamped a lot! We work with our land-managing partners along our 300-mile corridor to provide information and experiences related to the Overmountain Victory Trail, including passport stamps. Each stamp is unique to that partner, with "Overmountain Victory NHT" text across the top and the name of that specific location along the bottom. Be advised, there is also a special "secret stamp" that only travels with the Overmountain Victory NHT Rangers when they are out conducting a program. Check our special events calendar to see when and where the Rangers will be next and see if you can catch their special stamp!
