The contest involves identifying 34 architectural details on buildings in a defined area of the city. All details are visible from the sidewalk and both sides of the street are in play.
This year’s hunt will take place downtown. Many of the highlighted properties are designated heritage sites and are recipients of the City’s Façade Improvement Grant. It’s a great chance to explore the downtown, which is currently being studied as a potential Heritage Conservation District.
“PKAR is proud to sponsor the 2022 Heritage Hunt in the City of Peterborough. Heritage features add character and beauty to our city, fostering a sense of identity and community; they serve as a reminder to each of us that our city’s history belongs to us all, newcomers and long-time residents alike.”
Prizes will be awarded in both individual and group categories for the correct identification of the most architectural elements on the clue sheet. Prizes were generously donated by the Downtown Business Improvement Area (DBIA) and feature great offerings from local downtown businesses.
The Heritage Hunt contest closes Aug. 1.
