The Alabama Bicentennial Commission and Mercedes-Benz U.S. International Inc. (MBUSI) will announce the launch of the Alabama PastPort Project.
The launch will take place at the Mercedes-Benz Visitors Center in Vance at 10 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 26, and will be carried live on Alabama NewsCenter’s Facebook page.
Representatives from the Bicentennial Commission and MBUSI, along with co-sponsors Verizon and Alabama NewsCenter, on Friday will highlight the opportunities the program will provide to people of all ages who want to explore the state. Airbus is also a co-sponsor of the project.
“This program encourages kids to learn about Alabama’s rich history by visiting the historic sites, museums and landmark locations that tell its story,” MBUSI CEO Jason Hoff said. “We’re proud to sponsor a program that provides these learners with the resources to make these trips not only educational but also entertaining.”
