The Long Island History Hunt is set to take place from May 23 to September 30, 2023, inviting history enthusiasts to explore 26 historic sites from Brooklyn to Montauk. This year’s event features a patriotic twist in honor of America’s 250th anniversary. Participants will engage with Revolutionary War history by visiting museums, landmarks, and parks, taking selfies at designated locations, and uploading them to complete challenges. The event, organized by local officials and the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation, offers multiple prize levels, including a $250 cash prize for those completing challenges at 10 sites and a grand prize of $1,776 for those who complete all 26 challenges. This initiative aims to connect Long Islanders with their heritage and highlight lesser-known historical narratives. More details can be found online or by contacting the organizers.
