A new scavenger hunt for families is available at the Edison and Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers.

The main character in the game is Jerry the Pelican, who is hidden in multiple places around the site. The goal of the scavenger hunt is to find Jerry in eight different places, including the Edison caretaker’s house, the Moonlight Garden (back side of the study), main house, Thomas and Mina’s master bedroom, guest house, the Ford car exhibit, the secretary’s bedroom in the Ford house, and in the Ford house dining room. Children will receive a prize when they find all eight hidden pelicans.

Thomas and Mina Edison had many unusual pets, including alligators, monkeys and a peacock. There was also a pelican that spent time on the property, and the Edison family named him Jerry. It was the inspiration for the activity. Families are invited to post of their success on Facebook @EdisonFordFL.

The scavenger hunt is included with admission.

It is available through the app at https://edisonfordestates.oncell.com/en/help-find-jerry-313424.html or visitors can ask for a printed version at the ticket counter.
