What three countries does one step on as they walk up to The Rockery?” Celebrate our 200 years in Wakefield with this entertaining but challenging Wakefield History Scavenger Hunt while learning some local history! All of the answers can be found without any prior Wakefield historical knowledge and will be great fun for all ages.

Organize a team up to 4 adults, with or without any historical knowledge. This scavenger is a great activity to do with a few friends or as a family. Additional children, age of 12 and under, may be included on a 4 person team with one adult for every two children. Each team must have at least one team member who is 18 years of age or older. The event is open to 25 teams. Cost per team is $50. Rain date: Sunday, September 29.

Teams should preregister by Friday, September 20 Teams participating in this bicentennial event will begin at the church to pick up their questions, map, rules and start time, then venture out to the Wakefield’s downtown historic areas for clues to answer Wakefield historical questions. By five o’clock, all teams return to the Social Hall for scavenger hunt wrap up and light refreshments. All proceeds will support the church’s bicentennial activities and the steeple project capital campaign. Sign up to join this fun event by submitting a Scavenger Hunt sign up form.
