Explore Local This Summer!

Passport to History offers free admission to 16 museums and historic sites throughout southern Massachusetts

The Carpenter Museum in partnership with Old Colony History Museum is proud to once again host the “Passport to History” program for the summer of 2024. This program unites historical and cultural sites across Southeastern Massachusetts, introducing visitors to our region’s wealth of historical places, and the importance of local history right in our own backyard. The program runs now through September 1st.

Visitors can begin their journey at the Carpenter Museum or at any of the sixteen participating sites. The passport features a page for every participating location and is redeemable for free admission for up to a group of four. Passport holders are invited to then visit as many locations as possible to have their passport stamped. Visitors who collect all of their history stamps can return to the OCHM for a free gift. All passport holders will gain the greatest prize of all – a deeper love and understanding of our past and the rich local history of Southeastern Massachusetts.

About the Carpenter Museum:
The Carpenter Museum, named in honor of major benefactors Elsie Carpenter and her son E. Winsor Carpenter, is Rehoboth’s local history museum. Our mission is to collect, document, preserve, and share material culture related to the town’s history. We connect the Rehoboth community with these artifacts and with local history in general through our exhibits and programming. The Museum provides the wider community with research support, especially in the area of genealogy, and promotes learning about American history through direct experience with objects from the past.
