Celebrate Spring Break in Meridian with a week of STEAM-powered fun for students of all ages!

The excitement at Merrehope began Tuesday and continues through Saturday, March 14, featuring the interactive “Count On It!” Scavenger Hunt.

Visitors of all ages can tour the historic 20-room mansion for just $5 per person. Students who complete the scavenger hunt will receive a special “Count On It” Prize Bag.

Visitors of all ages are also invited to create their own paper chain and add it to the “We’re In This Together” Community Chain on display at Merrehope.

It’s optional for participants to donate $0.25, $1, $5, or more for each link in their chain. The chain symbolizes the community standing behind the ongoing restoration and continued success of Merrehope, ensuring it remains a place of learning and inspiration for today’s youth and future generations.
