The Haddam Historical Society is hosting a family/group scavenger hunt over Labor Day Weekend to inspire residents to learn more about the heritage of their community and what makes it so special. Groups will be tasked to “hunt” for remnants of our past and legacy items we honor today. The adventure may bring you to places you have never visited or teach you about people who had a significant effect on our town’s character. Groups will be able to complete the “hunt” at their own pace over the three-day weekend.
Clues will be distributed on Saturday morning at the Thankful Arnold House Museum. Registration is required for a nominal fee of $10 per group/family. All groups who complete the “hunt” will receive a prize and entered in a grand prize drawing.
Sample Question: The Green School House is located at foot of Candlewood Hill Road in the center of Higganum. Note how it has one door for boys and another door for girls. Once located across the street on Higganum Green it was moved shortly after Higganum Union School was built in 1894. Question? When was the building erected according to the plaque on the front?
Tickets also available online at www.haddamhistory.org or https://haddamhistoryscavengerhunt.eventbrite.com/ (Clues will be emailed)
Please practice social distancing and all Covid-19 protocols.
The event is sponsored by Christopher J. Smith, Alter & Pearson, LLC, Glastonbury and Central Systems, Inc., Fire Protection, Higganum.
