STRATTON — The Dead River Area Historical Society will hold a scavenger hunt from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 25, in conjunction with Stratton’s Family Fun Days.

Twenty-seven homes were brought to the area from Flagstaff and Dead River Plantation before the towns were flooded to create Flagstaff Lake. On this hunt, participants can search for 12 of these homes. Photographs of those houses will be provided as they were then, with clues as to where they are now.

Participation fee will cost $2, the winner will receive dinner for two at a local restaurant.

The museum opens for the season on Saturday, July 2, and will be open 11 a.m.-3 p.m. every weekend in July and August.

On display in the museum are artifacts, manuscripts and photographs that have been donated or loaned by interested townspeople and descendants of original families of the Dead River Region. Collections from 1850 on include old carpentry and logging tools, china, glass, church organ, furniture from native families, a complete schoolroom, a memorial room to the “lost” towns of Flagstaff and Dead River, the lineage of several native families, and a host of memorabilia from native homesteads.
