Blue Hill History Hunt

Blue Hill History Hunt

Blue Hill’s third annual “History Hunt” will take place this year from July 1-29, co-sponsored and hosted by the Jonathan Fisher House, Blue Hill Historical Society, First Congregational Church of Blue Hill, Blue Hill Public Library, and the First Baptist Church of Blue Hill. Throughout the month of July, visit any of the participating locations to pick up a checklist of fun historical items to locate and activities to do. Turn in your completed checklist by July 29 to be entered into a drawing for a prize! Prizes for both kids and adults will be available and winners will be contacted after the drawing at the end of July.

From listening to a 19th century organ to spotting a painting of a bird, each location will offer a way to learn about and connect with Blue Hill’s history. July hours for the locations are as follows:

  • Blue Hill Public Library, Mon., Tues., Wed., Fri. 9 AM-6 PM, Thur. 9 AM-8 PM, Sat. 9 AM-5 PM

  • Fisher House, Wed-Sat, 1-4 PM (beginning July 5)

  • Holt House (Blue Hill Historical Society), Thurs-Sun, 12-4 PM

  • Congregational Church bell ringing, Wed & Sat, 1-3 PM

  • First Baptist Church organ demos, July 3, July 10, July 17 and July 24, 1-3 PM

Checklist items at the Old Cemetery will be outdoors, accessible at any time.
