Scavenger Hunts
Set out on one of our scavenger hunts to begin exploring an era of our local history and how it connects to today!
Start your scavenger hunt by printing the PDF version or following along with the online version. Each scavenger hunt is available at two levels: one for young learners to explore with their families, and one for teens and adults to discover on your own or as a group.
Teacher guides for all hunts are available on request, please email educator@losalamoshistory.org.
