The haunted scavenger hunt was created by UAB public relations students, Grace and Ava, who will be available for questions (in costume) at Birmingham Historical Society headquarters. There will be activities for all ages including prizes for best period and Halloween costumes. Note that locations and QR codes will not be posted until the day of the event.
