Program Description

Event Details

Step into a time-traveling adventure like no other with our Escape Room Experience, where your mission is to retrieve the stolen diary of the illustrious Iris Baughman. Iris, a spirited young woman from Indiana, documented her captivating journey to the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair in her cherished diary. However, the mischievous Sammy, the Interviewing Toucan, has cunningly snatched it away.  Can you outsmart Sammy’s clever tricks and restore Iris’s lost memories? 

This experience is designed for 6th graders and above. Even adults can enjoy! No prior knowledge of genealogy, history or the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair is needed. It is a great way to get familiar with documents researchers use regularly. 

Groups of 4-8 people can sign up for an hour-long time slot at the main desk upstairs. This experience is FREE and will take place in the Guinn room.
