Abraham Lincoln Statue at Tredegar Iron Works Featured on National Park Passport Stamp
The statue of President Lincoln and his son Tad, located at Richmond
National Battlefield Park's main visitor center at Tredegar Iron Works,
has been selected to represent the Mid-Atlantic Region in the 2009
"Passport to Your National Parks" stamp set.
Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday is being commemorated in 2009. The
2009 stamp set is now available, and can be purchased at any Richmond
National Battlefield Park or Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site
visitor center. The cost for the stamp set is $3.95. The extremely
popular Passport program, first established in 1986, allows national
park visitors to collect rubber-stamp ink cancellations when they visit
national parks, as well as the annual full-color commemorative stamps,
and place them inside a Passport book as a record of their travels. For
more information about the "Passport to Your National Parks" program,
go to Eastern National's web site at www.easternnational.org.
John Donohue, park guide at Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site, took the winning photo.
