This July, step into history and experience Henricus Historical Park in a whole new way through an immersive scavenger hunt. Choose a character. Follow their story. Walk the paths of early settlers and uncover the lives that shaped Chesterfield history 250 years ago.
Select Your Character:
Tips for a seamless and fun experience:
Wear comfortable shoes and clothing; you will be walking outside for the majority of the scavenger hunt.
If you have kids ages 3 and under, consider bringing a jogging stroller or baby carrier. The natural terrain can be uneven in certain areas.
Wear sunscreen. Again, you’ll be outside.
Bring water and consider packing snacks or a lunch.
Be sure to scan the QR code at the end of your character’s story and complete the form. Prizes will be rewarded!
Make sure to snap lots of photos and tag @ExperienceChesterfield on Facebook and Instagram.
The hunt is designed to run itself but please feel free to chat with the interpreters on site (they are wonderful and knowledgeable!) and email us at experience@chesterfield.gov if you have any questions.
