Introducing the Pride Passport: Your Ticket to a Fabulous Piece of History

Here’s How It Works

1. Pick up your free passport at the Philly Pride Visitor Center or the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center beginning June 1, 2026.
2. Visit both locations before the end of the year and collect a stamp at each.
3. Show your completed passport to staff at either visitor center location to score a limited-edition Baron Von Steuben tote bag. (Who’s that? Read on below.)

Note: The program runs June 1 through December 31, 2026. Participants may redeem completed passports for tote bags at either location through the end of the year, while supplies last.

Bonus: Once you complete your passport, your name will be featured in the Philly Pride Visitor Center’s welcome video as a Pride Passport Founding Member.

Who Was Baron Von Steuben?

Baron Friedrich von Steuben was a German-born American general who helped train George Washington’s troops during the Revolutionary War. Many historians believe Baron Von Steuben was openly gay, a rarity during Colonial times.

His military prowess and what we know of his personal life have made him an enduring American LGBTQ+ icon.
