Sphere
scavenger hunt
Welcome to the Merwinsville Hotel glass sphere treasure hunt!







Being inspired by the Block Island Glass Float Project, we have hired Nunwell Glass in Lakeville, Connecticut, to create 50 glass spheres (for our 50th) that will be hidden at the historic Merwinsville Hotel and at other historic non-profits in the Litchfield and Fairfield County area. Some of the other participating organizations include New Milford Historical Society, Gallery 25 (in New Milford), Brookfield Craft Center, Kent Historical Society, Litchfield Historical Society, Danbury Railway Museum, and more!
The glass sphere hunt rules are simple....if you find one, keep it and you register it here! If you find another one, please leave it for someone else to find.
We want to thank all the sites who are participating (at no cost to them other than coming up with great place to hide the spheres). By inviting other non-profits to participate in our "hunt", we can all benefit. It's so important for all our local non-profits to continue to thrive and to grow - especially after being "on pause" due to the pandemic. We hope this event will be a way to help achieve that.
We want to give a big shout out to the New Milford Commission on the Arts for their generous donation to help offset the cost to hold this event! Thank you so much for supporting us!
