SUMMARY:Where's Waldo

We’ll have some history-related items to show visitors and stickers for your passports after Waldo is found! \n\n\n\nWe will also have a historical scavenger hunt for children to participate in when they visit the Scott House. \n\n\n\nAt the end of July\, those who have found Waldo in at least 10 places will receive a sticker and a button from Books on the Common; those with 20 will also be entered into a prize drawing on July 31.
