| Saturday, May 7 - 12:00 - 3:00 pm Annual Quest Fest A quest is very much like a treasure hunt, with maps, riddles and pictures which lead you through special places to hidden treasure boxes. You can choose quests that will guide your explorations of Keene’s cultural and natural history sites. Some of these quests take place right in downtown Keene, while others will lead you out into farms and woodlands. Begin the festival by taking part in a compass activity, get quest sheets and refreshments at the Horatio Colony House Museum at 12:00 noon. 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. Happy Questing! |
