The first place to go to learn about Philadelphia and the Delaware
Valley
|
This cache is located on the site of some notable residents of
Philadelphia including Dr. Caspar Wistar, the renowned anatomist
and intellectual; Robert Morris, signer of the Declaration of
Independence; Philip Marin Freneau, poet of the Revolution and
friend of Benjamin Franklin; and Haym Saloman, financier of the
Revolution.
The cache is housed in the Independence Visitors Center, built
to welcome the world to Philadelphia. This 50,000-square-foot
facility is the welcome center for Independence National Historical
Park. Here you can get information about the Philadelphia, Bucks,
Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties in Pennsylvania, as well
as the Southern New Jersey and Delaware River waterfronts.

No longer a traditional Letter box hybrid, just a remaining log
book. The log book is kept behind the desk inside of the building.
You will have to ask an employee at the desk if they know where the
log book is kept. Not everyone at the center knows where the
geocaching log book is kept, so as a little twist to make this
cache easier for fellow cachers there will be two ways to be
credited with a find here...
1) Find someone who knows where the log book is and sign the log
book
OR
2) Take a picture of you with one of the employees at the building
and post it
(please specify in your log which option you have completed)
Good luck and happy caching!
**If you attempt this cache and still are having a difficult
time please let me know.
