DERBY - Calling all detectives, treasure seekers, and puzzle solvers.
Come to the Hunt for the Giant Golden Goblet at the Osborne Homestead Museum July 9 from noon-4 p.m.
Learn about history, art, and more with a map and clues that will lead you to the hidden treasure. If you want all the fame, play solo.
If you’re willing to share the wins, play as a team. Just bring your thinking caps, skills, talents, and A-Game to find the missing golden goblet.
This is a free, family-friendly event, and participants can play the game at their own pace. Meet at the check-in table at the gate leading to the Osborne Homestead Museum to get your map and directions.
Unlock all three levels, get the clues, then do the indoor hunt inside the museum to solve the final clue that will lead you to the hidden treasure.

Turnback Tuesday looks at St. James Episcopal Church.
The church was established in 1737. The first resident rector was Rev. Richard Mansfield 1748-1820.The original building erected for the Episcopal Church still stands today on Elm Street in Ansonia. It was added to the David Humphreys House located across the street and used as a summer kitchen. During the rectorship of Rev. William Bliss Ashley,1842-1848, the church was relocated from east Derby to its present location at 123 Minerva St., along the Derby Green.
The parish was then enlarged and a tower added in 1853.
