History Center Hosts Tenth Annual Historical Selfie Scavenger Hunt From August 1 – 31, 2026

Join Oneida County History Center for its tenth annual Historical Selfie Scavenger Hunt. Venture on a county-wide scavenger hunt to explore the people, places, and events that shaped Oneida County. Clue sheets and instructions will be available at the History Center or oneidacountyhistory.org. Document your travels with a photo or selfie and share it on social media. All ages are encouraged to participate in this free program. On August 1, from 9 am – 1 pm, the History Center will kick off the scavenger hunt at the Oneida County Public Market behind Union Station.

This year’s theme celebrates America at 250.

Follow the clues to historical sites, monuments, and markers in Oneida County that relate to the American Revolution. After learning about each location’s history, take a selfie at each destination.

Share your adventure by posting your photos and tagging the History Center on Facebook (@OneidaCountyHistory) or Instagram (@ochc_localhistory). When you are done, visit the History Center at 1608 Genesee Street to share your photos. The first five participants to finish the hunt will receive a History Center membership and a prize. All children under 18 will receive a participation prize.
