Scavenge Ogden for its rich heritage in the annual historic hunt
The public is invited to participate in the Ogden City Landmarks Commission’s annual Historic Scavenger Hunt as part of the activities for Historic Preservation Month.
The Scavenger Hunt is intended to increase awareness of the beautiful historic structures in Ogden. Whether participating as an individual, family or group it is a great opportunity to notice the rich architectural details of the structures that make up our community.
Scavenger Hunt contest entry forms (available at Ogden City’s website or at Ogden Municipal Building) show glimpses and provide clues of historic structures and participants are challenged to identify the structure name and/or address. This year the contest focuses exclusively on structures within the downtown area. A map is included on the entry form and identifies the contest boundary.
Contest entries must be returned by 5:00 p.m. on May 20 to Suite 140 at the Municipal Building. Winners will be announced at a fun-filled program on May 22 at DaVinci Academy located at the historic American Can complex at 2033 Lincoln Ave, beginning at 5:00 p.m. While all entries are eligible for drawing prizes, those with all correct answers will be eligible for a grand prize. Winners need not be present except for the grand prize.
Scavenger Hunt contest entries are available for pick up at the Ogden City Planning Department, room 140 and at the 2nd floor Information Desk at the Ogden Municipal Building (2549 Washington Blvd.).
