Celebrating America’s 250th With Two Amazing New US Northeast Treasure Hunts

One Then Two Lanterns LLC Announces Launch of Treasure Hunt Books “Lady Liberty’s Treasure Hunt” and “Riley’s Treasure Chase”

BOSTON, MA — One Then Two Lanterns LLC is proud to announce the release of two exciting new treasure hunt books, “Lady Liberty’s Treasure Hunt” and “Riley’s Treasure Chase,” both designed to celebrate the rich history of the United States and encourage outdoor exploration in the Northeastern states. These books, created by renowned American Revolutionary War and United States Civil War historian Michael Cloherty O’Connell, are filled with educational adventures that combine history, family bonding, and the thrill of treasure hunting.

O’Connell’s books are part of a larger initiative to engage readers in discovering hidden treasures while also learning about America’s founding events. The books feature intricate treasure hunts spread across New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania—regions steeped in the nation’s history. As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary of independence, these treasure hunts offer a unique way to connect with the past and celebrate the freedom and values that have shaped the nation.

“Lady Liberty’s Treasure Hunt” offers an adventurous memoir interwoven with historical landmarks and a heartfelt tribute to the author’s wife, Laurel, whom he affectionately refers to as “Lady Liberty.” The book not only traces O’Connell’s life, from his youth in Lexington to his career in public service but also invites readers to embark on a treasure hunt that spans the Northeastern United States.

The quest is filled with challenges, clues, and rewards hidden throughout historic locations, providing participants with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich heritage of the region while seeking physical treasures. Alongside these challenges, O’Connell reflects on the most significant aspects of life—family, love, and the personal connections that have influenced his journey.

“Riley’s Treasure Chase,” the second treasure hunt book, is specifically designed for younger audiences and families. It introduces Riley, the author’s beloved Cavapoo, as the guide on a journey through historical sites linked to the American Revolution. As readers follow Riley through the streets of Boston and other iconic locations, they uncover stories of pivotal moments like the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. The book aims to spark curiosity about history while encouraging outdoor activities such as hiking and biking.

“This is not just about finding hidden treasures,” said O’Connell. “It’s about fostering a deeper understanding of the history of our country, encouraging family time outdoors, and engaging with the landscape that holds so many of the stories of our nation’s birth.”

Both books serve a dual purpose: they are not only tools for education and adventure, but also ways to promote the importance of healthy, active lifestyles. By combining treasure hunting with historical exploration, O’Connell hopes to inspire families, youth groups, and communities to disconnect from their screens and enjoy the beauty of the Northeastern United States.

O’Connell’s treasure hunts also offer real-world rewards, with over $100,000 in treasure hidden across the region for those who follow the rules outlined in the books. Participants will discover that the journey is just as rewarding as the destination. By providing both educational content and tangible prizes, O’Connell is making history come alive in a way that is fun, memorable, and impactful for readers of all ages.

These books are part of a broader mission to celebrate the 250th anniversary of America’s founding. O’Connell envisions reaching over 20,000 readers, encouraging them to engage with both the books and the outdoor activities they promote. With the nation’s milestone anniversary approaching, the treasure hunts are a timely reminder of the importance of preserving and understanding the values that formed the United States.
