The Passport to the Past is an equal parts trivia challenge, treasure hunt, and educational excursion. Those interested can stop by the Scott County Historical Society to pick up their very own passport. With this booklet in hand, travelers will visit two locations within each of the county's seven communities, uncovering answers to historical questions along the way.

One of the program's draws is that participation is completely free, making it an accessible option for families, students, and anyone with a thirst for knowledge or love for local culture. Once participants have filled their passports with answers, they're eligible to return to the historical society and claim a prize, adding an element of reward to the educational experience.
