In order to successfully claim this cache, visit the museum, sign the guest list at the front desk with your team name, and e-mail me, at Ken@Highpointer.com, the answers to the following questions after visiting (no internet "finds"):

1) What are the brand names of the two cans of lard on top of the shelves behind the counter at the LeSueur Mercantile?

2) What company built the wagon in the Crismon Room, and where was it built?

3) What are the first names of the six players pictured from the 1914 Mesa High School ladies basketball team?

4) What was the date of the fire that destroyed the original Mesa High School, and who is "The Man with a Camera" who took several of the pictures of the fire? Note: This exhibit may no longer be available.

Suggested replacement question, courtesy of 2 Sonians: How many milk jars are displayed next to the milking equipment?

5) Who was Mesa's first postmaster?

6) Who owned the "M" sweaters from 1931 and 1949?

Please don't post the answers here, even if encrypted.

Note: If the answers to any of the above questions appear to be missing, then simply skip that question. If you like, you can suggest a replacement question with answer.
