Westport Quilt Square Scavenger Hunt Kit

Riddle me this! Can you find all 18 of the Museum’s town history “quilt” squares? Hidden around town at partner locations are 12”x12” beautifully designed artworks inspired by town monuments, buildings and industries mimicking the quilt style. Solve a riddle (pay close attention to the highlighted words) for the location and write down your answer about which animal is on each board when you find them. If you get stuck, you can always ask the Museum for a hint.

Use the pdf below to fill in your answers. Once you’ve found at least 13, return your sheet to the Museum before 5 pm on July 29th to be entered for two great prizes.

The scavenger hunt is being held in connection to a quilt display being shown in Westport Museum’s Program gallery from June 30th-December 30th. We have partnered with CAMP gallery and MOCA Westport, also showing textiles and quilt inspired exhibits this summer. 

Many notable sites in Westport have taken a panel and cleverly placed them somewhere on their property. It’s your job to find them!

Celebrate with Us!

A celebration to choose the winners of the hunt will be held July 30th. Visitors will see all the “quilt” squares together and enjoy some light refreshment before winners are selected.

Prizes include tickets to two Halloween events taking place in October: four tickets to the Museum’s 13th Annual Illuminating the past Lantern Tour and four tickets to our all-new Escape Room featuring a fictionalized story based on Connecticut’s Witch Panic.

Winners will be randomly selected from completed packets that are returned to the Museum by July 29th at 5 pm.
