In 2003, American Fork's Historical Society placed an oval plaque
on each of these buildings with the year 1903 prominently
displayed. This was one way of celebrating the centennial year of
these buildings and was part of the sesquicentennial celebration of
the city itself.
Four of these five buildings have been placed on the National
Register of Historic Places. The other one is still pending and
efforts continue to have it included as well. On the four buildings
already on the register, there is a separate plaque placed on the
building which explains a little bit of its history and
architecture. Take a minute to read these plaques.
This cache will lead you to each of these buildings. The
coordinates for all five buildings are given. However, you'll need
to visit each of them to get a bit of information you'll need to
find the final cache which is micro-sized.
Bring your own pen or pencil to write in the log.
