HISTORICAL SCAVENGER HUNT FOR KIDS

A Special Event Presented as Part of Glimpses of Our Past

Sunday, January 10 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM

(Can't make January 10? Come out and play Saturdays and Sundays through January between 12:00 - 4:00 pm)

BAFFA Art Gallery, 47 Gillette Avenue, Sayville, NY

WHAT CAN YOU DISCOVER ABOUT LONG ISLAND HISTORY?

Kids are invited to explore Glimpses of Our Past, BAFFA’s exciting exhibition of historical photographs, and embark on a fun scavenger hunt through the BAFFA Art Gallery!

Search the photographs for clues, uncover fascinating details, and see how much you can discover about the places, people, communities, and everyday life that helped shape Long Island and New York City. You might have to spot a familiar landmark, find something that is no longer there, identify a piece of history, or look closely at a photograph to answer a tricky question.

Every picture has a story—and it’s your job to find it!

Along the way, kids will learn that history isn't just something found in textbooks. It’s all around us—in our neighborhoods, our buildings, our families, and the photographs that help us remember the past.

Grab your scavenger hunt sheet, explore the exhibition, follow the clues, and become a Long Island History Detective!

On Sunday, January 10 from 2:00–4:00 PM prizes will be awarded to participating kids!

Can't make it that day? The scavenger hunt will also be available any weekend in January from 12:00–4:00 PM during the exhibition. The self-guided weekend version will not include prizes.

Perfect for curious kids, families, young history buffs, and any child who loves a good mystery!

Come explore. Find the clues. Discover the past!

Free of charge — donations are gratefully accepted.
