Scavenger Hunt Introduction and First Question:
We present a journey through time to historical sites in Franklin County that relate to the American Revolution. The following fourteen questions, plus one bonus question, will take you on a search around the county to find various people and places related to the history of the war.Each question comes with directions (but not too many!) and instructions on what to do when you’ve found the thing you seek.

We hope you have some fun, and that you will learn some local Revolutionary War history
along the way!

1. We suggest you start your quest for history in downtown Chambersburg. Find the Founders’ Park, and the statue called the “Founding Fathers Memorial.” Who was the youngest member of the Chambers family depicted by this statue? How old was he when he left home to fight in the American Revolution?

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
