A Fun Way to Learn History!
Search historic artifacts for answers to questions. Explore a school house from the 1800's, relics from the Revolutionary War and a museum filled with Americana. Weather friendly- all events are indoors! Cost is $3 per child for each event (members free). Arrive anytime between 1pm and 3pm. Questions take approximately 45 minutes to answer. Recommended ages: 9 - 14 years old. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
The Series benefits the hosting non-profit organizations and is designed to promote both reading comprehension and a better understanding of our local history through hands-on educational opportunities.
Each location has different artifacts and scaventer hunt questions. Whether you can make one or all three - we hope to see you this summer!
