Geared toward kids and families, here's a fun scavenger hunt to explore Chelsea history this fall!

In partnership with the Chelsea Area Historical Society to celebrate their 50th year, we invite kids and families to participate in a scavenger hunt! Have you ever wondered why the trim on the Depot looks like a gingerbread house, or just who the McKunes were (and why their house is now part of the library)? You’ll learn all about Chelsea’s amazing history and earn a prize, along with entries into a grand prize drawing. Pick up a bingo card and map at the library or the CAHS museum (128 Jackson St.) and play between Sep. 9 – Oct. 27.
