Geocache Description:

Fun find in a great historic place

This is our first cache to hide! We hope you have fun with it.
History ~
The Rheingold school: Built in 1900. Log cabin teacherage in 1891. Consolidated in 1949. In addition to the main building each school had outhouses for boys and girls, which were placed at opposite sides of the property. The schoolhouse was heated by large wood burning cast iron heaters. Wood could either be thrust through the lid or through the door to the firebox. Water was often gotten from hand-dug wells or from a neighbor. Students brought their own drinking cups and kept them in the school desk.

Have a good time while you are here and feel free to leave them any donation!

The cache: The box is handmade from Zanzibar! We took a trip this May and thought it would be a perfect cache box.
Original contents:
Texas Post Card, Bluebonnet seeds, Huge bouncy Ball, Pack of dice, Glow in the dark silly putty, Mini lint roller, Eiffel Tower Key Chain ~ from under the real tower!, Tractor and wagon, and the beautiful Cililing TB that started in Slovakia and we found in Zanzibar.
