Got game? The Warren County Historical Society’s Trail of History Challenge V is set to begin on May 12, 2025. Part scavenger hunt and part treasure hunt, this competition requires players to collect answers from around the county.
To get your game on, start with a visit to the Warren County Historical Society at 210 Fourth Ave., Warren, PA, any time this summer. The $10 registration fee provides you a clue packet and instructions for loads of fun! Each clue requires you to travel to a different part of Warren County to discover the answer.
Play as an individual or part of team, and spend your summer learning more about beautiful Warren County. But hurry! By September, it will be game over. Completed answer sheets returned by Friday, September 5, 2025, at 4:00 PM will be entered into a drawing for the prize pack. A special thank you to this year’s Challenge sponsors: the Warren County Visitors Bureau, Yankee Bush Productions, and Whirley Drinkworks!
The Warren County Historical Society is open Monday-Friday, from 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM. For more information, please call (814) 723-1795, visit www.warrenhistory.org or like the Society’s Facebook page.

The influence of dictionaries is everywhere—whether one knows it or not. More than historic artifacts, dictionaries have transcended beyond the printed book as living documents that help us understand the world around us and establish shared meaning together. The current Rare Book Room exhibition, What Does It All Mean?: Exploring the Dictionary, delves into our relationship with dictionaries in the past, present, and future. Curated in collaboration with members of the Dictionary Society of North America, this exhibition highlights notable English lexicographers of the English language and explores many different types of dictionaries.
