PIONEER PASSPORT<br />

Arapahoe County’s Historical Hunt invites modern-day<br />

explorers to grab a Pioneer Passport for a tour through<br />

Arapahoe County’s history.<br />

The County is celebrating its 150th Anniversary and would<br />

like residents to join in the fun of a scavenger hunt. You’ll be<br />

traveling all over the County to answer 10-15 fun trivia<br />

questions that will lead you to visit some of the County’s<br />

most beautiful, historic and intriguing treasured landmarks,<br />

including a historic venue in <strong>Greenwood</strong> <strong>Village</strong>!<br />

To celebrate this momentous occasion, the first 150 people to<br />

turn in a completed Pioneer Passport will receive a 150th<br />

Anniversary Commemorative Coin.<br />

In addition, all participants who turn in a completed<br />

passport will be entered to win a $150 VISA gift card. The<br />

winner will be announced Nov. 1, 2011 — Arapahoe<br />

County’s 150th birthday.<br />

So grab your Pioneer Passport at any of the County’s office<br />

locations, <strong>Greenwood</strong> <strong>Village</strong> City Hall, or download a copy<br />

at www.co.arapahoe.co.us. GV<br />

Years ago, pioneers traveling along the historic Cherokee Trail stagecoach route to Denver would stop at 17 Mile House Farm Park for<br />

food and shelter. Arapahoe County has preserved this heritage site which includes an 1860s mile house, silo and barn.<br />
