Farragut Museum scavenger hunts
Farragut Museum has produced two scavenger hunts for children to learn local history. The first one, titled “If the Trees Could Talk,” takes families throughout the Town of Farragut to find eight historically-significant spots, each marked by a tree. The tree narrates the importance of the location and describes the historical event that happened there. The second is the “Find Admiral Farragut” passport, a scavenger hunt inside Farragut Museum. Children search for artifacts marked by small Admiral Farragut icons using detailed clues.
A prize is offered upon completion of the passport. Both scavenger hunts are available at
Farragut Museum. “If the Trees Could Talk” also can be picked up at Farragut Community
Center and Campbell Station Inn.
