The Scavenger Hunt uses historical markers relating to agriculture found throughout the commonwealth. This fun challenge is an educational tool to introduce children and their families to the diversity of Pennsylvania’s agricultural and rural heritage. Replicas of actual PHMC historical markers are located throughout the Farm Show Complex. Please use this brochure and marker map to locate each marker. Read the text on each marker to answer the questions in this brochure. If you complete the Scavenger Hunt and answer all the questions correctly, you receive a prize and a chance to enter our grand prize drawing. 2019 Historical Marker Scavenger Hunt Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission Search for Pennsylvania Historical Markers throughout the Farm Show and learn more about Pennsylvania’s rich agricultural heritage.

FUN FAMILY PRIZE PACKS Would you like to nominate a topic of Pennsylvania’s heritage for a Historical Marker? Visit our website for more information and an application at www.PAHistoricalMarkers.com. #PreservAtionHappensHere, the name of PA’s new statewide historic preservation plan, is the idea that there are great preservation activities happening every day across Pennsylvania. These activities may or, may not be, thought of as historic preservation, but nevertheless, they need to be identified, shared, and celebrated! Use the #preservationhappenshere hashtag in your own posts, ‘grams, & tweets to share good news about the older and historic places you care about and how preservation is happening in your part of Pennsylvania. We might feature your post, ‘gram, or tweet in our monthly newsletter or, better yet, select your organization or the project you share for a PA SHPO Community Initiative Award!
