Pumpkin Hunt

The American Writers Museum turns its galleries into a literary scavenger hunt this October, with small pumpkins hidden among exhibits dedicated to American novels, poems, and plays. Visitors who track down all the pumpkins can win a prize. It's a simple, self-paced way to explore the museum with kids. The event runs on Thursday, October 1, during regular museum hours, and is included with standard admission. No advance registration needed.
