Scavenger Hunt In The Moreland Neighborhood

SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH — The city's first Roll 'N Stroll will be held August 4, and residents will invited to either walk or bicycle their way through a scavenger hunt and self-guided tour of the Moreland Neighborhood. The event is free and family-friendly.

Check-in for the event will begin at 9:30 a.m. at The Dealership, 3558 Lee Road. The scavenger hunt and tours will run from 10 a.m. until noon. There will then be crafts and games until 2 p.m. The event will begin and end at The Dealership.

Prior to the scavenger hunt and tour, attendees will get a map of the area. They will then be invited to walk or bike through the neighborhood, stopping to find key points of interest, learn historical facts, and get their "passport" stamped. At each point-of-interest, participants will meet a local ambassador.

After they finish their hunt, participants should return to The Dealership and turn in their "passports." They'll then be entered into a drawing for different prizes.

The city said this new event is an "outgrowth of a history project in the Moreland neighborhood. In partnership with Cleveland State University, an in-depth, historical study of the neighborhood was undertaken. From that, written and oral histories have been produced that bring to life the many dimensions of this unique neighborhood. Click here, and here, to view the history project.
