The Fargo History Hunt is back this summer! All ages are once again invited to learn more about the history of our community on an informational, family-friendly scavenger hunt. Given the circumstances we are faced with these days, however, we have made some changes to the program. Participants will be able to pick up a map with a list of questions to answer at any Fargo Public Library location (once the buildings are open to the public), or print a map here.
All history-related destinations will be located outdoors and include some of the markers, monuments, statues, and structures around town that help tell the unique story of Fargo. Opportunities are available to earn multiple entries in the grand prize drawing for each member of a group. Participants who complete only the walking portion of the map and answer the corresponding questions receive one entry. Complete the entire route, including the driveable portion, and answer the questions to receive a second entry. Take selfies at the locations and tag the library with #FargoHistoryHunt to earn yet another entry! The final difference in the program this year is that we will be foregoing the puzzle pieces to avoid contact. Get outdoors this year to find Fargo’s history all around us!
