The Lockwood House is one of the oldest homes in Sparta
Township, having been constructed about 1745. The construction
reflects the common early design, with horizontal slits for the
second floor windows, and known as a saltbox house because of the
resemblance to that apparatus in the side view silhouette. The
house barely escaped destruction in the late 1990's and was moved
by rollers down the Sparta Avenue from its original location near
the Brick House. (source: Sparta Historical Society).
The cache is placed a distance from the house as to not place on
private property. It is a small micro cache with only a log and
pencil. Depending on your approach, it may be very difficult to
discover. Watch where you park and use your stealth as lots of
people will see you here.
Good Luck!
