North Stonington Education Foundation

The NSEF Scavenger Hunt was held as part of North Stonington’s Bicentennial Celebration on Sunday, May 27, 2007. The Scavenger Hunt began and ended at the North Stonington Grange Fairgrounds on Wyassup Road. This family-friendly event led participants on a fascinating driving adventure of discovery as they searched for clues and collected tokens along North Stonington’s charming country roads. The hunt included a variety of historical North Stonington farms, inns, and cemeteries.

“The Two Vilmas!” team was the first to return and win the first prize of George Stone’s Cracker Barrel Chronicles donated by the Other Tiger Bookstore. The second and third prizes were a pen and ink print of a North Stonington landmark donated by Ed Tucchio, and a watercolor of a local North Stonington scene donated by Jean Ridall. Refreshments were served.

All participants and site owners were provided a souvenir booklet, which included pen and ink drawings by local artist Suzanne Starr, and historical details of the twelve Scavenger Hunt sites.
