To increase engagement with children ages 5 to 12 a museum scavenger hunt was created. A clue placed at the entrance to the museum provided children, and their caregiver, a direction where a locally made sock monkey is hidden in the museum. Clues helped to bring attention to history and lesser known facts while being moderately easy for children. When found, each participant was able to put their name in for the weekly draw to win the sock monkey.

The clues were a balance of plain language for younger children, easy enough to try to locate while engaging adults accompanied the children to areas that may not have drawn attention before.
50 clues and locations were created and identified.
Example clue leads to the top of the flag pole outside the replica school house.
