A self-guided tour, driving from one place to another, learning facts about local history along the way will be a main feature of the Scavenger Hunt.
Some points of interest to be discovered along the route:
• Where Harry H. Culver first saw his wife-to-be, actress Lillian Roberts;
• Where drag racing began;
• The landmark building that housed the MGM Fan Club, and other locations.
• Final checkpoint will be a familiar location where everyone can celebrate with a taco dinner, a no-host bar, and a 50/50 raffle.
The cost for this fun-filled adventure is $30 for Culver City Historical Society members; $35 for non-members and $10 for children, ages 6-12.
