The Lowell Riddler is hiding medallions in the City of Lowell and offering area residents the chance to win a prize of local gift cards. Look for a new clue or riddle each Saturday!
Finding the 16th medallion was a group effort for the Reagan family. “My daughter and I agreed line one was pretty clearly the dam,” Becky Reagan says. Then, they decided 5 and 58 must refer to years, and Jim Reagan remembered hearing about the fire of 1958. That led them to the site of the community Christmas Tree which was their best guess for a “planted keepsake.” That wasn’t what the clue was pointing to, though, and they eventually found the medallion on the nearby historic marker.
Here’s what else The Lowell Riddler sent us when announcing the winner and the answers behind the riddle:
