Questing was born out of a 150-year old tradition in the region surrounding Dartmoor National Park in southwest England. "Letterboxing," as this tradition is called, has become a hugely popular past time, with thousands of boxes hidden in both natural and cultural locations.

Valley Quest

Valley Quest defines Questing as a place-based education model of creating and exchanging treasure hunts in order to collect and share your community's distinct natural and cultural heritage -- your special places and stories. There are now more than 200 Quests in the Upper Valley Region of New Hampshire and Vermont. The Quests lead to our communities’ treasures: historic village buildings, cemeteries, old school houses, waterfalls, covered bridges, hilltop overlooks, forests and wetlands.
