About this Event

Home to the location of Abraham Lincoln's first speech, beautiful 19th-century buildings, and fascinating railroad infrastructure, Decatur is one of Illinois' best-kept secrets. Around the bustling city, you'll discover modern-day amenities alongside 150-year-old architecture. If you're ready to glimpse the bygone times of America, join us on this one-of-a-kind Decatur scavenger hunt.


While Decatur was first established in 1823, the town didn't grow immensely until the mid-1850s when two railroad companies built lines through the city. Agriculture boomed thanks to these railroad lines, and the town became an important distribution center. A bustling downtown was seemingly built overnight, and people from near and far came to enjoy this new modern city.


On today's scavenger hunt, you'll step back in time and learn about the early years of Abraham Lincoln, look for clues of Decatur's vibrant past and seek out buildings restored to their glory days. You'll work together as a team to solve tricky riddles, explore busy parks, and wander around strange temples. Decatur may be known as the Soybean Capital of the World, but don't be fooled. This scavenger hunt in Decatur has the makings of an epic time and hilarious memories. Grab your tickets, and let's get roaming!
