CALLING ALL HISTORY DETECTIVES! — A Treasure Hunt in Lafayette

May 25, 2013 2 Comments

History Detective

The Lafayette Historical Society is sponsoring a Downtown Lafayette History Treasure Hunt on the weekend of June 15-16, 2013.

Discover how much you know about Downtown Lafayette’s history (or you can learn more) by participating in this fun family-friendly Father’s Day Weekend outing! 

Here’s how it will work:

At 5 pm Friday, June 14, clues and instructions will be emailed to participants. The clues will give directions to markers or plaques at fourteen different historical sites in downtown Lafayette. Information found on a marker or plaque will answer a question specific to that location.

Answers to the clues must be emailed to the Historical Society (lafayette.history@comcast.net) by 5 pm on Sunday, June 16. There will be a prize drawing from among those answering all of the questions correctly.

You can sign up by filing out the form below:

    Dang – I am going to be at my daughter’s graduate school graduation in Seattle this weekend so I don’t think I could do it. What fun! I would love to know what the questions are and whether I know the answers. It would be fun to have the questions for future family reunions – to see if anyone else in the family could answer them…… Please keep me posted of future events. Have fun.

    Hope to have another opportunity to participate next year!
