The Cynthiana Harrison County Museum just concluded this summer’s Great Museum Treasure Hunt and all would say it was a resounding success. Always a family affair during the eight weekends of the hunt, the Museum saw lots of kids come with parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. 288 visits were made by kids from as close as down the street from the museum to as far away as the outer banks of North Carolina.

2024 Grand Prize Winner!
This year’s hunt was hosted by the Museum’s HarriCyn Junior History Club. Club members chose the 8 different ‘treasures’ that made the list for this summer’s hunt and many were on hand each weekend to help participants find and learn about the artifacts. 34 of this summer’s treasure hunters became members of our “Persistent Pursuers Club”. The Club honors those artifact hunters who participated in at least 4 of the 8 weekends of the hunt. Two of those Persistent Pursers, Madelynn and Avery Muntz, had perfect attendance participating in all 8 weeks! This summer’s Grand Prize Drawing winner was Brody Grubb, son of Joey and Mary Grubb, a 2nd grader at Southside Elementary School. He received the $250 cash prize sponsored by The Cynthiana Harrison County Museum.
