Buckhead Heritage Society to Host History-Themed Scavenger Hunt
Brush up on your Buckhead trivia in preparation for the "Third Annual Buckhead's Hidden Secrets: A History Scavenger Hunt," scheduled May 6.
Brush up on your Buckhead trivia in preparation for the “Third Annual Buckhead’s Hidden Secrets: A History Scavenger Hunt,” scheduled Sunday, May 6, from 4-7:30 p.m. Teams will compete against each other to solve clues and seek out historic locations in either a chauffeured limousine or a private car.
Where is Buckhead’s first skyscraper? Who was Henry Irby? Where was Buckhead’s first hardware store located? Guests will convene at the Atlanta International School for drinks and hors d’oeuvres, receive their clues, and then compete to solve clues and take photos related to the community’s past. Each successfully resolved riddle will be worth points.
At the end of the Scavenger Hunt, participants will return to the Atlanta International School for barbecue and a fun-filled celebration, where prizes will be awarded to the winners.
