Saturday, May 7 - 12:00 to 3:00 PM QUEST FEST A quest is very much like a treasure hunt, with maps, riddles, and pictures to lead you through special places to hidden treasure boxes. You will be given a booklet filled with quests that can guide your explorations of Keene’s cultural and natural history. Some of these quests take place right in downtown Keene, while others will lead you out into farms and woodlands. Begin the festival by getting your booklet and refreshments at the Horatio Colony House Museum , 199 Main Street, Keene, NH. You are welcome to visit other quest sites throughout the day. After questing, come back to the museum for snacks and awards at 2:30 PM. Free. Happy Questing! |
