Best bet: River Heritage Passport Days

Cape Girardeau's historic preservation projects will be open and free this weekend during the River Heritage Passport Days, an opportunity to see historic sites in Cape Girardeau and enter to win one of three $25 Visa gift cards. Pick up a passport from any of the locations and get it stamped at at least three of the following: Cape River Heritage Museum, Ford D, The Glenn House, Old St. Vincent's Church and the Red House Interpretive Center. Drop the passport into a box at any of the sites to be entered in the drawing. Each historic site will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Old St. Vincent's Church will open at 1 p.m. Sunday.
