I've looked online and cannot find the civil war passport book. Can you provide more information?

Here is the info for the book:

I bought mine at gettysburg but I am sure you can get it at any civil war site.

Thanks. My mistake was looking for a Civil War passport book not a handbook with spaces for the cancellations. I'll have to get one and see how many Civil War sites I can visit next year.

My Pennsylvania passport arrived in today's mail! I am so excited, because even though I live in CT, I visit PA a couple of times each year to see my dad. I may have to start taking more creative routes in order to stop at some of these spots. ;)

Now I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my lighthouse passport!

Thank you for posting your blog! I was lucky enough to go on two leisure cross country road trips last year and was only able to find a stamping station at yellowstone.

Found this: http://www.sameerhalai.com/blog/the-27-stamps-of-seattle-public-library-passport/
Looks like it has been discontinued, but the libraries might still have the stamp. Doesn't hurt to ask if you visit. :)

I have that one :-) It is nice. It even has a pocket in it so you can keep you annual park pass in it.

Virginia has passport stamps for the Aviation ambassador program at all the public-use airports. Not sure how hard to get to some of these are without flying, but I just went and got the Norfolk International stamp and a fresh passport no issues this evening.

North Carolina and Maryland have similar programs.

I have a Lighthouse Passport and love it! The lighthouse stamps are really cool. The program is essentially a fund raiser for the preservation of lighthouses so be prepared to pay a dollar or two when to get a lighthouse stamp. Every lighthouse seems to be different on what they expect too.

Also in Virginia, but specifically in Fredericksburg, VA is a program run by the local Wegman's. There's a booklet that you can take to each of the local parks and make a rubbing with a pencil or crayon.

Not a stamp (which is WAY cooler) but still unique.
