Discount promotion offers admission to 11 Brandywine Valley attractions<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The Nemours Mansion is the newest addition to the Treasure Trail Passport program that allows a one-price admission for a wide range of local museums and destinations.<\/p><\/div>\n

For the fourth year in a row, the Brandywine Museums and Gardens Alliance is offering a Treasure Trail Passport, a cost-saving approach to taking advantage of the region\u2019s cultural offerings.<\/p>\n

The promotion, which includes admission discounts to eleven Brandywine Valley attractions (new this year is Nemours Mansion and Gardens), runs from this Saturday through Sept. 3. For $35 per adult, or $75 for a family of two adults and up to three children, visitors receive a passport good for one-time admission at the Brandywine River Museum, Delaware Art Museum, Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts, Delaware Historical Society & Read House, Delaware Museum of Natural History, Hagley Museum and Library, Longwood Gardens, Mt. Cuba Center, Nemours Mansion & Gardens, Rockwood Park & Museum, and Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library.\"\"<\/p>\n

Visitors who return a completed passport will be entered into a drawing on Oct.1 for gift certificates from top local restaurants.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a unique opportunity for our local friends and neighbors to enjoy the gems in their own backyard, and for out-of-town guests to visit the spectacular gardens, museums, and historic sites conveniently clustered in the Brandywine Valley,\u201d said Molly Keresztury, the Alliance chairwoman. “We’re delighted to have added Nemours Mansion & Gardens to the passport this year, while keeping the price the same as in 2011.”<\/p>\n

The passport program is funded in part by the Delaware Tourism Office, the Greater Wilmington Convention and Visitors Bureau, Amtrak, and Today Media, Inc. Tickets are available online at http:\/\/www.visitwilmingtonde.com\/pporder\/<\/a>. They can also be purchased at all all eleven sites, the Greater Wilmington Convention & Visitors Bureau, and the I-95 Welcome Center in Newark, De.
