Begin your Summer Fun at the DuPage County Historical Museum! 

Stop by the Museum to pick up your passport booklet and begin the adventure.  This booklet includes over 50 museums, nature centers and historical sites in the western suburbs.  Complete the special destination activity at each location to earn a stamp.  The goal is to fill your passport with as many stamps as you can. After visiting five sites, participants who return their passport to the location stamped on the front page of their booklet receive a certificate noting their accomplishment. Visiting seven sites earns the certificate and an additional incentive prize determined by each museum. You can keep your passport as a reference guide for fun places to visit throughout the year.

The Passport to Adventure Program is designed for children between the ages of 4 and 12 and sponsored by the Kane-DuPage Regional Museum Association.
