CANCELLED: Harry Potter Family Scavenger Hunt

Title:CANCELLED: Harry Potter Family Scavenger Hunt
Date & Time:Tue Jul 21, 2020
Location:Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum, 105-107 S. Fairfax St. (Map This)
Event Details:While OHA intended to leverage a popular annual museum program to share elements of Alexandria’s African American history, residents have raised concerns about the event being perceived as disrespectful. Disrespect was never our intent and we have canceled the event. OHA strives to create historical programs that are uplifting and done through a lens of equity. Unfortunately, we failed to do so with this event. We are very proud of our African American history and always want to improve the visitor experience. We appreciate those community members letting us know their concerns.
This scavenger hunt is created especially for children ages 9-13, but open to all who have read the full Harry Potter series. The scavenger hunt can be completed electronically in Survey Monkey or by printing a PDF . This year - if you turn in your electronic version or completed paper copy to the Alexandria History Museum at the Lyceum by August 7, you will be entered into a drawing, with five random winners selected. All local history trivia answers can be found online with relevant keyword searches in your preferred search engine.

This is a free activity however donations are welcome. Historic Alexandria does receive City operational funding to support its mission; however, these resources do not cover the full scope of its strategic goals and projects. Donations, program revenue, and grant funding help supplement staff, conservation work, and educational programs. Admission and rental fees also support these efforts, as well as contribute to the City’s revenue goals and overall operational budget. To donate, visit The Alexandria Shop.
