Explore Rockville by Decade; History Tour & Scavenger Hunt

You’re invited to Explore Rockville’s long and rich history  through a self-guided outdoor tour and scavenger hunt that will walk you through sites and stories in Rockville through the decades. Learn about Rockville from its beginnings to the 20th century, and visit parks and public art along the way, in this event by Peerless Rockville.

Per the event listing: Tour stops are a SURPRISE! The 10+ stops about Rockville’s unique sites, stories, and art are located across the city – you’re invited to explore places you’ve never been and sites you pass by all the time unaware. This tour features highlights from our three previous Explore Rockville events plus a few new stops.

After registration, every household will receive a link to a printable program with site details and scavenger hunt instructions for each stop on Wednesday afternoon. This event is designed for households to safely explore historic sites outdoors across the city, learn new details about the world around them, and enjoy communal pride through social media. Spots are limited! Earn a cool commemorative car magnet* for completing the tour by tagging Peerless on Social Media, website guestbook, or e-mailing us with your scavenger results by Monday, May 16. *Limit 2 per household.

All ticket purchases and donations support local history, heritage, and preservation advocacy. We thank you for celebrating Rockville’s unique community identity with us and for your generous support.
