About

Looking for a fun and free family activity this summer? Pick up our summer activity sheet for the Hollytrees History Hunt and explore the museum on a word hunt with a historical twist.

As you journey through each room, keep an eye on the displays to spot key words. Each correct answer will reveal a letter. Put them all together to uncover the hidden word!

This self-guided trail is perfect for curious minds ages 5+.
