This letterbox is part of the GO and Find Your Hero! program in York County, PA. It will be available from May 30, 2015- August 16, 2015. Further details about the program may be found at www.goyork.org.

The GO and Find Your Hero! program requires you to search for up to 30 “autographs” of community heroes. These “autographs” are wooden posts with engraved plates on them, instead of a traditional letterbox and stamp. Please carefully rub the impression from the engraved plate onto your GO and Find Your Hero! rubbing page, available at any York County library.

The letterbox is located at the Agricultural & Industrial Museum in York City. To receive the rubbing plate, you must answer all questions correctly and provide your responses to the front desk. GO York! level of difficulty = Easy

- When you arrive and before entering the building, make note of the name of the company that was originally housed in this building. __________
- Check in at the reception desk and pick up a map of the museum. It will help you find your way.
- Enter the transportation exhibit and find the “cheapest car in the world.” Where was it made? __________
- Come down the ramp and the stairs. Notice the old fashioned bicycles on your right. In the old days, riders used to tip over on one of these bikes. Which one do you think it was? __________
- Turn left and walk through the large entryway. On your left will be the Bradley Grist Mill. You may ask someone at the front desk to show you how it works, if you’d like. Find the object that looks like a big green watermelon located in this room. What was its purpose? ___________
- Go to the “Hall of Giants” and find something that kept things cool like the “watermelon.” ____________
- If you visit the D.F. Stauffer Biscuit Company exhibit on the second floor of the Hall of Giants and eat some sweets, it will be important to brush your teeth afterwards. Find the strongest teeth in the world in the Local Industry 1 exhibit. Brushing at least two times a day will help you to avoid what tool located just inside the doorway of the DENTSPLY exhibit? _______________________
- Locate the plows in the same room as the “watermelon.” Find the piece of equipment near the plows that is used to play Christmas music in York. What is it? _____________
- You’re soon finished with your work here. Go up the stairs to the Local Industry 2 exhibit. Name three York County companies featured here. ____________________
- A York County man helped to train one of the strongest men in the world. Who was the trainer? ___________ What award did the strong man win? ____________
