Participants will hunt down historical markers to fill out their scavenger hunt sheet, then  return their sheets to Tourism, the Chamber Offce, or Georgetown/Scott County Museum to be entered into a prize drawing. Winners will be selected in a drawing on April 10, 2021 for prizes from local Scott County businesses. 

 

What are Historical Markers?

Kentucky historical markers are plaques, stone markers with engraved text or signs erected at historically significant locations, facilities or buildings and are usually found near public roadways or in parks. They call attention to and recognize special persons, places and events in the history of the place in which they are located, acting as important reminder of our past!
