CHITTENDEN
COUNTY
“HISTORY MYSTERY”
 Chittenden
County “History Mystery” is
being planned as a Quadricentennial event throughout August.
This fun event will be free and open to
Vermonters and visitors of all ages. Brochures containing
clues in riddle form can be picked up during August
at selected places in each town. There are
18 riddles – one for each community in Chittenden
County. “History Detectives” must go to
each town
to find the answers. Deadline for return of completed
brochures is September
1st.
Those with all correct
answers will be entered in a drawing for one of 18
prizes. The drawing will be held at
2:00pm on Sunday,
September 27th, in the
Community Room of
the Burlington Police Department (entrance next to
Battery
Park). It’s
not necessary to be present to win a prize.
Completed brochures can be returned to any pick up place or mailed to
this historical society. For more information call 863-5155.
