Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt
The Salem Easter Egg Hunt is an interactive Salem Saturday for the whole family! In addition to the regular Saturday tour experience, Old Salem ticketed visitors will get to participate in an exciting scavenger hunt throughout the district that will lead them to investigate this cultural history up close and personal.
Come find out why Easter is such a central holiday in Moravian culture and what this season looked like historically for the people of the time!
Each of our tour buildings will hold the answer to a question or a hidden object. Find out the secrets and get a prize in each location!
