Scavenger hunt for kids at summer’s end

Grace McQuade

Before kids head back to school, they may want to still participate in the Hunt Around Huntington.

Tuesday, Sept. 5 is the last day to complete the treasure map that takes families around town in search of artifacts from historical and cultural sites.

These venues include The Whaling Museum & Education Center, the Cold Spring Harbor Fire House Museum and the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities in Cold Spring Harbor, the Huntington Historical Society’s Conklin Barn and the Heckscher Museum of Art in Huntington, Walt Whitman Birthplace in Huntington Station, and The Northport Historical Society in Northport.

Find all the answers to the scavenger hunt and have your map stamped at each venue.

One lucky winner, chosen from those who complete the hunt, will receive a full-year family membership at the participating venues.

Just imagine all the book reports your child could write with seven historical resources to visit throughout the year.

For more information about the Hunt Around Huntington and addresses of all the venues, go to www.cswhalingmuseum.org.

Maps are available at each of the venues, as well as online at http://bit.ly/2g5U2zo.
