The Bangor Historical Society is celebrating its 160th year this year, and it wants to mark the occasion the best way it knows how; with a history hunt!

According to the Facebook Event Page for the 'Great Bangor History Hunt,' the fun will kick off at 10 AM in Norumbega Park this Saturday, September 14th.

"Participants will be given a map and clues that will take them to places that tell Bangor's history. All who successfully complete the Hunt will be entered into a drawing for a $200 Grand Prize Package. There will be 4 other prizes valued at $50 each."
