The Rye Historical Society is delighted to contribute to a family friendly historical scavenger hunt hosted by the Westchester County Historical Society (WCHS) in honor of its 150th anniversary.

The WCHS History Hunt will lead participants to a diverse array of places around Westchester County, including Rye, where they will explore and learn about each location and their community history. 

By answering clues and submitting the answers to the questions in the History Hunt app, all participants will be able to win prizes based on the points they earn. Grand prize winners who answer the most correct scavenger hunt questions will be awarded prizes in an event hosted by the WCHS on October 6th. This fall event will not only feature a digital exhibit with objects from the WCHS collection but also a Keynote Event featuring author and historian Kermit Roosevelt III.

In partnership with the WCHS, the Rye Historical Society has entered three locations integral to the history of Rye for this exciting History Hunt. Join the hunt to see which locations have been incorporated into this historical adventure, and to support the amazing history of Rye and Westchester County.
