HUNT FOR THE LOST TREASURE OF COWETA

THANKS TO ALL WHO ALL WHO PLAYED! WE HAD OVER 2000 VIEWS OF OUR WEBSITE DURING THIS HUNT! WE ARE ALREADY PLANNING THE NEXT ONE!

PLEASE SEND US YOUR SUGGESTIONS! 

SEE BELOW FOR THE ANSWERS TO THIS YEAR'S HUNT! 

The HUNT FOR THE LOST TREASURE OF COWETA will honor the work of two local authors, Edward and Helen Wolak, in a month-long event. 

Beginning September 1, treasurer hunters will search for lost relics and ruins throughout Coweta County. Clues will be released weekly, and treasure hunters will scour the county for its trove of historic jewels. On September 30, in a finale celebration, the first to complete the hunt will be rewarded with the Grand Prize: one troy ounce of gold (valued 8/25/23:$1903). Other valuable and fantastic prizes will be awarded as well. 

Long time members of the former Moreland Community Historical Society, Edward and Helen Wolak created a remarkable account of the settlements and early towns, now long gone, in their county. Vanished Communities of Coweta County includes geographic plotting of locations for the early pioneer settlements which laid the foundations of the towns which replaced them. Additionally, the Wolaks created a map plotting these locations. This work is an invaluable reference tool. In conjunction with the Hunt for the Lost Treasure of Coweta, photographs and stories of these locations and other relics will be captured and added to this original work. The new revised publication will be available in early 2024; all proceeds from the new book will support the works of the event sponsor, the Moreland Cultural Arts Alliance, Inc.  

MCAA operates the Moreland museums dedicated to Lewis Grizzard and to 

Erskine Caldwell as well as sponsors programs and projects which fulfill its mission to preserve the history and culture of the area. 

MARK YOUR CALENDAR! Plan your trip to the museums of Natural History and experience our collection in person. We offer a variety of tours and programs for visitors of all ages.
