Revolutionary RI History Hunt Portsmouth Experience
After months of planning and production, the Portsmouth “Revolutionary RI History Hunt”, a driving tour using your smartphone is ready for kickoff! Special thanks to Gloria Schmidt for script development and to our storytellers, Seth Chiaro, Ed Rizy, Becky Sattel, Gloria Schmidt, Richard Schmidt and Jim Stearns. Click here for a sample story – one of 20 clues to be discovered around Portsmouth.
You are invited to join our kickoff event at 10:00 am on Saturday, November 23rd. Meeting at the Portsmouth Historic Society, you will get a digital clue packet and map. Your hunt begins around that property, then you’ll drive to five other locations around Portsmouth where historically significant things happened relating to the Battle of Rhode Island. See how many of the clues you can find and learn along the way by watching videos and answering trivia questions and puzzles on your smartphone or tablet. This event is free of charge and pre-registration is required at this link: https:/
We are pleased to be collaborating on new History Hunt tours in Providence, Bristol, Coventry and East Greenwich, which will be announced as they become available. This initiative, featuring walking or driving tours in 12 Rhode Island towns, was funded by the Rhode Island Department of Commerce.
