Did you know that there are local treasure hunts hidden all over the Upper Valley?!Valley Quest has created over 200 treasure hunts for our local towns that help teach history and explore our local communities. Just like a treasure hunt, you are given clues and make your way to hidden "treasure".
On their website they explain that the quest "treasure might be a natural site (wetland, town forest) or perhaps a cultural site (abandoned mill site, historic cemetery, covered bridge, etc.). Each Quest is made up of three parts: clues, which teach visitors how to see or read a community story; a map guiding them along a specific route; leading to a particular "treasure" and treasure box, complete with a story about the site, a sign-in book, and a hand-carved stamp featuring a symbol for the site." Ready to go "Questing"?? click here to get started.
Their fun website lets you select your "quest" by location, difficulty or by "features" (water falls, swimming holes, etc).
If you feel so inclined there is also an option for creating your own "Quest". You can read more about that here.
Valley Quest offers a "rewards" program for those "Quest-ers" who do a lot of exploring. Complete 20 quests and earn a Valley Quest patch and certificate; 50 quests will earn you a hat. So what are you waiting for? Get started today! Have fun exploring this summer!
