Native Americans have called these shores of Lake Winnebago ‘home’ for thousands of years. Neenah meaning ‘water’ has been a known gathering place long before 1873.

Celebrating our history.

Since incorporating 150 years ago, the City of Neenah has embraced technology, healthcare, education, and business. We have deep roots that continue to sustain this innovation and promote new growth.

Celebrating our future.

This community is built on the ingenuity and collaborative spirt of all. Every person contributes to the health and quality of life of this place we call home.

Celebrating you.

150th Anniversary Treasure Hunt

Rules for the City of Neenah Police 150th Anniversary Treasure Hunt:

• A commemorative medallion will be hidden each week in 2023.

• Watch the City of Neenah Police Department’s Facebook page each week for hints and clues.

• The weekly clue will be published on Monday at random times.

• If you discover the medallion, it is your treasure to keep!

• If you find a medallion, we would love for you to report your discovery by sending a photograph of you, with your medallion. Please use the QR codes located in the finder’s instructions, or visit the Neenah Police Department, located at 2111 Marathon Avenue. With your permission this picture may be used in our social media campaign.

• A marker will be left after the medallion has been discovered to let everyone know they found the location, but the treasure was claimed. These markers will remain at each site for the duration of that week’s treasure hunt.

• Please respect private areas – Medallions will only be hidden on public areas in the City of Neenah.

• You will not need to remove or disturb any items to find the treasure. (This does not include environmental factors, such as snow or leaves).

• No breaking any laws! This scavenger hunt is meant for fun and to celebrate the sesquicentennial anniversary of the City and Police Department.

• Use common sense and common courtesy – be safe and smart.

• Limit one medallion per household.

• By participating, you assume all liability and will hold harmless the City of Neenah and the City of Neenah Police Department and all their employees, volunteers, and assignees.
