Hilliard History Express offers scavenger hunt experience

Hilliard History Express

Looking for a great family activity? All aboard the Hilliard History Express!

This isn’t your average scavenger hunt — it’s an intergenerational journey through Hilliard’s past, present, and everything in between.

Explore local stops where history hides in plain sight. At each participating location, find the train created by local students, stamp your passport, and discover something new about the town you thought you knew.

Make it a one-day blitz or stretch the fun all summer long. Complete your passport and turn it in at Coffee Connections to claim your prize — a conductor hat, grocery tote, or tee (while supplies last).

  • Free to participate
  • Perfect for families, history buffs, and curious minds
  • Fun prize upon completion and local learning guaranteed

This trail was created through the partnership of Hilliard City School District, City of Hilliard, the Hilliard Ohio Historical Society, participating businesses and Destination Hilliard.

Don’t forget to tag your finds and photos with #HilliardHistoryExpress for a chance to be featured!
