DCHS History Challenge
Mr. Brent Carson
Participate in the DCHS History Challenge to qualify for a 1-year DCHS membership,plus lunch at Delaware’s Historic The Hamburger Inn with President Emeritus Brent Carson.
The Delaware County Historical Society wants the community to be aware of all the activities we are involved in from our free programs, to our museums, to our on-line presence, plus so much more.
Instead of telling you, we challenge you to find and “taste” our Delaware County history activities. You will have fun, perhaps learn something about our community, and you might even win a free lunch.
The History Challenge is made of different parts. Each part of the challenge has a corresponding “secret” code. You collect the 4-digit codes by attending the programs, visiting our historic buildings, going on-line to our websites or social media pages, etc.
Take your time, the challenge runs from August 1 until October 31.
