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.Â
