Ohio & Erie National Heritage Canalway needs Volunteer Pirates

By Lou Yuhasz on March 2nd, 2010

(Ohio) — A new type of treasure hunt is coming to the Ohio & Erie National Heritage Canalway, which stretches from Cleveland through Akron and Canton to New Philadelphia. Volunteers and teachers are needed to get the new family-oriented recreational program off the ground. Questing involves following a rhyming trail of charming clues and a curious map to find a hidden box. Participants log their finds and collect unique stamps in passport-like booklets while gaining a richer sense of place.

for National Heritage Areas, at 202-354-2268.
