Long Island History Hunt

A dozen museums and historical societies, from Brooklyn to Montauk, are teaming up to offer an epic adventure to places where spies, patriots and presidents helped shaped local history. From the secrets of the Culper Spy Ring to the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt, the past comes alive at every stop in a digital tapestry that weaves together history’s hidden gems and little-known stories.

Participants scan a QR code or visit https://app.otocast.com/guide/LIHistoryHunt  to register and then visit a designated museum, landmark, monument, historic home, park or colonial tavern. At each location, visitors are invited to take a selfie challenge and upload their photo.

Visitors who complete a challenge at any site are automatically eligible to win a prize. Those who complete a challenge at all 12 sites will earn the title of Revolutionary Trailblazer and be entered into the grand prize drawing that includes $500, an 18th century-style luncheon at the Ketcham Inn tavern, family museum memberships and a basket of curated surprises.

The contest runs from July 1st through September 30th.
