2024 Heritage Hunt begins
Peterborough, ON – Put your knowledge of George Street’s architecture and heritage features to the test during the City of Peterborough’s annual Heritage Hunt.
The contest closes November 29, 2024. All residents are welcome to participate.
The Peterborough Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee has been organizing the Heritage Hunt since 1983. The contest involves identifying 35 architectural details on buildings in a defined area of the city.
This year’s hunt will take place along George Street North, from Parkhill Road West to King Street. All details are visible from the sidewalk and may be found on either side of the street.
Prizes will be awarded for the correct identification of the most architectural elements on the clue sheet. This year, there are three bonus details for extra points.
A fillable, mobile-friendly form, including a map of the Heritage Hunt area where all the architectural details can be found, is available on our website at peterborough.ca/HeritageHunt.
Booklets can also be picked up at City Hall, 500 George St. N., the Peterborough Museum & Archives, 300 Hunter St. E., the Peterborough Public Library, 345 Aylmer St. N., the Art Gallery of Peterborough, 250 Crescent St., and Hutchison House, 270 Brock St.
