| Baldpate Gnome |
A kid’s
favorite (and master of our Junior Key Keepers Scavenger Hunt) is our Baldpate Key
Room Gnome.
This delightful handmade wood carving found its home at Baldpate’s
Key Room in 1992. Baldpate guests, Thurston
& Shirley Bridges, who had stayed with us for many years, always enjoy spending
time sitting on the front porch visiting with other guests and carving their
unique gnomes. We approached them about
doing a special carving for our 75th birthday and our beloved gnome
was born!

| Thurston begins with a log |
Since kids almost always are first to
spot our Gnome in the Key Room, when our curators decided to do a special kids
adventure, he came immediately to mind as the clever cluemaster!
He will mischievously guide you around our
Key Collection to discover special keys that are designated as part of the Baldpate’s
"Roam with the Gnome Collection." And if, and only if you can find them all, you
will earn the coveted Junior Key Keeper Award and Ribbon.
Be careful, he will be watching you closely the entire time to be sure you are learning as you go!
