Adult Clues
1. Start in parking lot/drive on Kerns Rd. in Dayton, VA.
2. Come in the gate straight in front of you. Look at the big white building on your left. You are looking at the oldest house in Dayton, and one of the oldest in Rockingham County. It was built in 1748.
3. Go forward on the sidewalk. Merge right and continue forward in between the two buildings.
4. Stop lined up with the water pump and rotate 90 degrees to your right. John and Sarah Allebaugh, who raised 10 daughters in this house, added this building onto the house between 1830 and 1850!
5. Continue left around the back of the house.
6. Line up between the two small trees on the inside of the fence towards the end of the yard.
7. Turn left and walk to the backside of the bench on the porch of the house.
8. Line yourself up with the middle leg of the bench.
9. Crouch down and reach your hand under the porch. The letterbox should be underneath there.
10. Take time to look around at this beautiful Virginia and National registered historic landmark. The house is open for visitors every weekend in May through October.
Kid Clues.
1. Look around the driveway for an old hitching post. The Dayton Mennonites used these to keep their horses in place. Stand in the driveway facing the opposite way from the street. Gallop to the gate infront of you.
2. Line yourself up equal with the gate.
3. Skip to the 5th block around the curve.
4. Look at the house. It was built in the 1700’s by Captain Daniel Harrison. Now face towards the large building’s porch.
5. Pretend you are 12 o’clock. Turn to 3 o’clock.
6. Go straight to the end of the sidewalk.
7. Look at the stream and figure out which was it’s flowing. Walk the way that it’s going.
8. Stop when you get to the corner of the house. In the 1800’s the Allebaugh family lived here. They raised ten daughters in this home.
9. Turn 90 degrees to your left.
10. Bunny hop until you reach the porch’s edge. You are standing beside the oldest house in Dayton, and one of the oldest in Rockingham County.
11. Stand at the middle of the bench.
12. Get onto the ground on your belly and reach forward under the porch. You will find the box hidden there.
It’s open every weekend May-October and for groups by appointment.
