General Admission

Ride through history on two wheels 🚲 Passages To The Past Bike Tour invites you to explore Prince George&rsquo;s County&rsquo;s public history up close. Pedal between key sites, hear stories of local activism and everyday life, and see how our communities have shaped &mdash; and been shaped by &mdash; the region. What to expect 👀 This guided ride follows a comfortable, time-tested route highlighting historic places, public art, and cultural landmarks that Anacostia Trails Heritage Area works to preserve and promote. Experienced volunteer cyclists will ride along with us to assist riders and site leaders will greet riders at each stop to provide information about the history and significance of the sites. Refreshments will be provided at selected stops, and at the end of the tour, which will end with closing remarks.&nbsp; Partners 👋🏾This event is funded in part by a Maryland Humanities SHINE grant and was built in partnership with Sankofa Impact, Inc.. Additional partners include PGParks, Maryland DNR, Patuxent Riverkeeper, and St. Thomas Church.
