We’re excited to announce the addition of a fun, new program available at no additional charge to our exhibit guests – the Digital Scavenger Hunt! When you purchase a ticket to our exhibits, you can also use your smartphone, iPad or iPod Touch to follow along this new digital tour. QR codes (those little black and white square graphics) are placed strategically throughout the Vanishing Appalachia exhibit. Start with number 1 at the front desk, and scan the code to get the first clue. Don’t have a QR code reader app? Get one for android here or for Apple devices here. Once you find the answer to the clue in the exhibit, scan the next code (it will be on the wall near where you’ll find that answer – hint, hint!) to see if you are correct, and get the next clue. Keep following the trail to see if you can find all the answers and finish the hunt! Along the way you’ll learn lots of little details that you might have otherwise missed, and have a ton of fun doing it.

Integrating digital technology into our exhibits is one way we continue to keep up with cutting-edge museum practices, allowing us to share more of our collection in fun and interesting ways. Your support makes these programs possible, please consider becoming a member today!
