The teaching/exercise/riddle solving game is a joint effort of the Adair Co. Public Library, the Adair County Health Department, Tour Southern and Eastern Kentucky, and the Lake Cumberland Health Department.

A Quest box is located outside the local library, with 24 hour access. Jelaine Harlow describes the game:


"A brochure with clues for the Quest is located on a box marked Quest at the front entrance of the Adair County Public Library, 301 Greensburg Street. (clue-the Quest ends at the place this picture was taken)

"The Quest takes approximately 1 hour and does require comfortable walking shoes and has 2 hills. Once you finish the Quest return to the library and inside the mailbox you will find a stamp for your brochure and a fact sheet about the historical sites you visited. Please sign the visitor book before leaving.

"The Quest is available 7 days a week, day or evenings and is free & for the public. If you choose to Quest at night, bring a flashlight for the cemetery!"She adds that more information on the history of questing is available online.
