Geocache Description:

A traditional cache in a small plastic container. Terrain is rated 2.0 due to uneven ground.


Trinity Episcopal Church was built as a summer church “well before the 1900’s” according to a booklet published by parishioners in the 1950’s. The 1300 sq ft chapel seats approximately 130 people and was designed by Caroline Schenck. The church is an outstanding example of the Arts and Crafts architecture.  Responding to the ideas of that movement, Schenck rejected the classical symmetry of most 19th century church designs and aimed instead at creating a building that would seem to grow naturally from the landscape. Working on a small, sharply sloped lot, Schenck used only local building materials, particularly the stone that dominates the Maine Coast. With a stone wall running along the lot’s perimeter, the building nestles itself into the hillside and seems almost an outcropping of the ground itself. Schenck also created a dramatic effect by designing an interior space that is almost subterranean, with stone walls lit by small earth-tinted windows high on the side walls. A parish hall was added in 1995 and was designed to harmonize with the chapel's architecture and tripled the space for a now year-round parish.
