Activity Info: University of Virginia

As the cityʼs most famous institution, the University of Virginia makes a great location for this scavenger hunt through Charlottesville. As we make our way across The Lawn and around The Rotunda, weʼll uncover the mysteries of UVAʼs secret societies, hear about the life of a young Edgar Allan Poe, and even get further acquainted with the great Greek poet Homer.

Of course, weʼll also learn more about the universityʼs founder, Thomas Jefferson, and how his unique philosophy is reflected in the schoolʼs mission and architecture. So, giddy up and letʼs ride through the home of the Cavaliers on this Charlottesville scavenger hunt.

You can do our interactive scavenger hunt at any time. Explore the art, culture, and history of Charlottesville.
