What did a 16-year-old girl do for fun back in 1901? Head to Locust Grove Estate for this story walk scavenger hunt for decorated pumpkins hidden among the historic flowers and trees! Find over 20 fabulously decorated pumpkins that tell the story of what a typical day might look like here at Locust Grove in 1901, the year the Young family moved into the mansion year-round. Celebrate the family and the gardeners, tutors, maids, cooks, grooms, carriage drivers and everyone else who kept Locust Grove going over 120 years ago! Find the rooster who woke them up in the morning, a bicycle, the man in the moon and more all made from decorated pumpkins!
Use the map to find the hidden pumpkins and bring your imagination (costumes are a plus!).
