How does this work?
Caches are placed to hold postcards. Every
postcard will have a small message and an address on it. The
address will contain the person’s name that you are trying to
send the card to, a city and most likely a cache. The objective is
to move postcards between Geo-Post Offices until they reach their
desired location. When you move a postcard or message from one
place to another, please let the person who it’s being sent
to know where you moved it to because they might be close enough to
pick it up. If you move a postcard from one Geo-Post Office to
another please move it closer to the city or cache!
A CASTLE IN THE MIDWEST?
Originally built by the Knights of Pythias
as an Orphanage in 1913.
The property was sold to the United States
Government in 1942 during World War II as only a few people were
residing there,and they were placed in private
institutions.
It
became a part of O'Reilly General Hospital and remained as such
until the Hospital was deactivated.
It was used for a number of years by the
Army Reserve.
It is now in private ownership.

The building is a large and
imposing,castle-like structure constructed of cut limestone
blocks.
Thank-you to Tamara Finocchiaro, the owner
of this magnificant piece of Springfield History, who granted me
permission to place this cache.
If there is a wedding taking
place when you arrive to find this cache please respect the privacy
of this group & search for this cache at another time. Other
than weddings this cache is available at all
times.
