We Want More History (Trivia)!

Kick your weekend off with us at a "historic" night of trivia! Whether you know a little or a lot about this area, we have got some fun for you! Carefully curated around stories from the collections, participants get seven rounds to test their best guess. Categories cover the basics like people and places, some famous and some not, but we promise no tricks. In fact, we like you so much that we are bringing some guest starring artifacts to help you as clues.
