Vivian Garza, assistant librarian for Cabarrus County, described America 250 historical displays at the Eastern Cabarrus Historical Society and announced a related scavenger hunt.
Garza said the exhibit will include county, state and national displays detailing local events, including the story of the Cabarrus Black Boys, who "blew up three wagons full of gunpowder that were on their way to Governor Tryon." The exhibit includes maps depicting the wagons’ locations and references to Colonel Moses Alexander and nine regulator patriots involved in the disruption.
As part of the America 250 celebration, Garza announced a "Washington Super Secret Scavenger Hunt." Participants can pick up scavenger-hunt materials at Harrisburg Library, complete the hunt and bring results to the Eastern Cabarrus Historical Society to claim a prize at Harrisburg Library. Garza described the exhibit and hunt as close to home and "very worth seeing."
The recording did not specify exhibit dates, hours of operation, or the exact nature of the prizes beyond a pick-up and drop-off arrangement between the Harrisburg Library and the historical society.
