This 3rd Annual  Hunt, sponsored by the Moreland Cultural Arts Alliance( MCAA), invites treasure hunters of all ages to join this scavenger hunt and to discover the remnants and relics of the past hidden in ‘plain sight ’ throughout region. While hunters will find cultural riches throughout the search, one treasure hunter will win the GRAND PRIZE at the end of the HUNT which is a FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR gift card. Other hunters will be awarded additional prizes as well from a treasure chest at the end of the HUNT.

The HUNT begins on Friday, August 29, 2025- Labor Day Weekend, and it continues throughout the month of September.  Treasure hunters will find new clues on the website of MCAA: morelandadventure.com and on its Facebook page: Moreland Cultural Arts Alliance; new clues will be released on Fridays: August 29, September 5, 12, and 19.

Treasure hunters will search throughout Coweta County and adjacent counties, within twenty miles of the border, for historic architecture, unique structures archeological sites, nostalgic and quirky places and items, many of which are found in plain sight every day and we often pass by and miss.  Hunters can search individually and in groups. 

The HUNT Is open for all ages.      

The HUNT FOR THE LOST TREASURE OF COWETA COUNTY is inspired by the work of members of the former Moreland Community Historical Society members, Edward and Helen Wolak who created a guide to the ” Vanished Communities of Coweta County” documenting the early settlements in the area which ultimately became the cities in the county. The guide contains historic maps and loads of interesting details about lost places in Coweta.  Treasure hunters may find this booklet helpful; beginning August 29, 2025, it is available to review at the Hometown Heritage Museum (7 Main St. Moreland) in the media center. Treasure hunters may use books and resources found online, in county libraries, historical societies and they may quiz local history buffs for help deciphering the clues. Gear up for fun with you family and friends. Be sure to download the rules and guidelines at morelandadventure.com/events.
