Blue Hill’s second annual “History Hunt” will take place this year from July 1-29, co-sponsored and hosted by the Jonathan Fisher House, Blue Hill Historical Society, First Congregational Church of Blue Hill, Blue Hill Public Library, and the Blue Hill Inn. Throughout the month of July, visit any of the participating locations to pick up a checklist of fun historical items to locate and activities to do. Turn in your completed checklist by July 29 to be entered into a drawing for a prize! Prizes for both kids and adults will be available.

From taking a photo with a historic hitching post to ringing the bell in the church tower, each location will offer a way to learn about and connect with Blue Hill’s history. July hours for the locations are as follows: Fisher House, Wed-Sat, 1-4 PM; Holt House (Blue Hill Historical Society), Wed-Sat, 12-4 PM & Sun. 1-4 PM; Congregational Church bell ringing, Wed & Sat, 1-3 PM; Blue Hill Public Library, MTWF 9 AM-6 PM, Th 9 AM-8 PM, Sat 9 AM-5 PM. Checklist items at the Blue Hill Inn and Seaside Cemetery will be outdoors, accessible at any time. Post photos from your Hunt on social media using #HistoryHunt or send them to contact@jonathanfisherhouse.org.

An all-ages celebration of the end of the Hunt will take place on Saturday, July 29, from 10 AM-12 PM at the Jonathan Fisher House at 44 Mines Rd in Blue Hill. Refreshments will be available, and prize winners will be drawn at the end of the event.
