🏛️ HISTORIC PRESERVATION MONTH SCAVENGER HUNT 🕵️‍♀️

Ready to explore Thomaston like never before? This May, join us for a city-wide scavenger hunt celebrating the stories, places, and history that make our community special!

🔍 HOW IT WORKS:
• Each Saturday at 11AM (starting May 9), we’ll drop 5 new clues
• Clues will lead you to historic locations across Thomaston
• At each site, look for a small wooden box

🎟️ WHAT YOU’LL FIND:
Inside each box is a piece of history—an authentic 1943 Ritz Theatre ticket (yours to keep!)

🏆 PRIZES:
• First to find the box? Take the ticket to the Thomaston-Upson Archives (301 S. Center St., M–F, 9–5) to claim a prize
• Not first? Don’t worry—you can still win!

📸 INSTAGRAM CONTEST:
Snap a photo with the box (selfie or location shot) and comment it on the week’s clue post to be entered to win the grand prize

📱 Follow along each week for clues, updates, and more chances to win!

Let the hunt begin… 👀
