Waltham History Hunters Contest How many times have people gone by the same Common, cemeteries, statues or other symbols of local history without really noticing or thinking about the history and families behind them? Waltham will open it�s the forgotten history during this year�s Eighth Annual Historic Waltham Days with a challenge to 200 locals. The Historic Waltham Scavenger Hunt will be held from from May 31st to June 7th. Participants will get a chance to unravel the clues, visit places in Waltham history and pick up Waltham History trivia scrolls. The Historic Waltham Scavenger Hunt will begin on the Waltham Common May 31 during the two week Historic Waltham opening day. History Hunter bags will be available at the Common for the firs 200 registrants. In the bags will be a list of clues to places in Waltham where the history scrolls are hidden or where information needs to be recorded.
