Stamp Rally Logo Spring 2026

The 2026 Contest will begin on April 19th

 

What is a Stamp Rally?

A Stamp Rally is an event where participants are encouraged to visit a series of attractions, collecting a stamp at each site to record their visit. Visitors who collect the most stamps will be eligible for prizes. Scroll down for details!

What is a Stamp Rally Booklet and where can I get one?

The Historic Germantown stamp rally booklet was created especially for visitors to find and explore all of the amazing greenspaces in the Historic Germantown consortium; showcasing the exceptional parks, arboreta, farms, cemeteries, gardens, and landscaped grounds. When you visit each site, you collect a stamp which is original to that specific site recording your visit. The stamps all live in a designated “stamp house” at each individual site. Scroll down on this page to view the stamp house map for each site. 

On April 19th, booklets will be available at the following sites:
