One Then Two Lanterns LLC Introduces Two Thrilling Treasure Hunts to Celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary

Lady Liberty’s Treasure Hunt takes adult readers on a journey through time and personal reflection. The book blends O’Connell’s personal memoirs with an intricate treasure hunt, guiding participants across historically significant historic locations in New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Drawing inspiration from real-life treasure hunts such as The Thrill of the Chase, O’Connell challenges readers to uncover hidden rewards while deepening their appreciation for America’s past.

The book is also a tribute to O’Connell’s beautiful wife, whom he affectionately calls “Lady Liberty.” Through the lens of family, love, and historical exploration, the narrative encourages readers to embark on their own journeys of discovery. Those who successfully decipher the clues and adhere to the book’s guidelines have the opportunity to claim real-world treasure, making the experience both intellectually and materially rewarding.

For young adult readers, their families and friends, Riley’s Treasure Chase offers an educational yet adventurous experience. Guided by Riley, O’Connell’s beloved Cavapoo, the book takes youth under 18, and their adults through historical sites tied to the American Revolution. By following Riley’s path, readers learn about key events such as the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party and Paul Revere’s ride, while engaging in an interactive treasure hunt that promotes outdoor exploration, history education, and family bonding.

Riley’s Treasure Chase is designed as a hands-on learning experience, encouraging youth to hike, bike, and explore their surroundings while absorbing the rich history of the United States. O’Connell describes the book as “a way to inspire young minds to connect with the past in a fun, memorable way.” The book pays tribute to O’Connell’s deep passion for history, storytelling, and his connection with Riley, whom he considers his “soul dog.”

Both books are designed with a larger mission in mind—to encourage readers to step away from screens, immerse themselves in nature, and engage with American history firsthand. As the country approaches its semiquincentennial, these treasure hunts serve as a unique and interactive way to honor the legacy of American independence. “Our goal is to get 20,000 or more people reading these books, getting outside, and experiencing history in a meaningful way,” O’Connell states. “These two treasure hunt’s historical adventures are a fun, memorable, healthy, positive way for people to get outdoors with their family, friends, Scouting Units, youth groups, neighbors, and communities.”

Both books are available for purchase, with discounts offered through IngramSpark direct purchase links. Readers interested in joining these amazing treasure hunts, and uncovering America’s rich past can find more information at:
