2024 Treasure Hunt

A local treasure hunter, Tatum Hayft, has found the coveted Rochesterfest Medallion! Starting as a kid, Tatum would search with her family and this year was the year! Congrats on the find at Parkwood Hills Park.

All the clues for the rest of the week have been posted below! Thank you for all who participated!

2024 Button Clues

FOLLOW THE RULES AS WELL AS THE CLUES

This year’s treasure is a special acrylic medallion, hidden somewhere in the city of Rochester and on public property (but not on a golf course or cemetery) and NEVER on private property that might appear open to the public. It will not be hidden on public land that would be dangerous to search (roadways, etc.)  You will absolutely know if you find it!  Once found, it must be exchanged for its bounty.

Search, but please don't destroy the natural beauty of Rochester or the Treasure hiding place!  Each day's clue will bring you closer to the treasure's location, and it will be evident once found!

Where, oh where would a Treasure hide? We have a pretty good idea where it has been hidden in past years, but where will is surface this year? We've also found some terrific motivation from other area Treasure Hunts. Want to see what we see? Visit the Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt or Red Wing's Medallion Hunt during River City Days to see if it helps. (Probably not.)
