Passport to Your National Parks stamps around the National Mall — what I found at each location (August 2026)

I went around the National Mall today looking for Passport to Your National Parks cancellation stamps, so I thought I’d share photos of the stamp stations I found for anyone planning a stamp run in DC.

Each photo shows the stamps that were available at that location during my visit. You can zoom in on the photos to see the individual stamp labels.

Photo 1 — Lincoln Memorial Gift Store
Photo 2 — Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Gift Store
Photo 3 — Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Gift Store
Photo 4 — Thomas Jefferson Memorial Park Store

I forgot to take a photo but I also found stamp stations at:
White House Visitor Center
Washington Monument Lodge

One thing I learned: you don’t necessarily have to go to each individual memorial to get its stamp. Several of these locations have stamps for other nearby memorials/sites as well, and some locations have a surprisingly large selection.

There are also America250 commemorative stamps available at some of the stations.
Hopefully these photos help anyone planning a National Mall Passport stamp run!

Passport stamps currently available at Independence Visitor Center – Philadelphia, PA (Aug 2026)

Posting this as a reference for fellow Passport stamp collectors!
These were the cancellation stamps available at the Independence Visitor Center in Philadelphia when I visited on August 9, 2026. I forgot to take a photo of the actual stamping station, so here’s a photo of all the stamps I was able to collect there instead.
Hope this helps anyone planning a visit and wondering which cancellations they can get at this location!

Grand Canyon National Park

My first visit to Grand Canyon National Park, and it completely exceeded my expectations.
We caught sunset, stayed long enough for the stars to come out, and returned the next morning for more viewpoints. Ooh Aah Point was definitely a highlight. It’s hard to capture just how massive and colorful the canyon is in photos.
Already looking forward to coming back.

• Ooh Aah Point
• South Rim overlooks
• Sunset over the canyon
• Milky Way after dark at Yavapai Point

If you missed getting a National Park Unigrid Map, try emailing the park!

Just wanted to share this in case it helps other collectors.

I wasn’t able to get a Unigrid during my visit to Zion National Park, so I sent them a polite email explaining what happened and included my visit date and mailing address.

They kindly replied that they’re mailing me a Unigrid along with cancellation stamps for the date of my visit.
Obviously, every park may have different policies, so this isn’t guaranteed, but it never hurts to ask politely.

Huge thanks to the Zion National Park staff for their kindness!
