This is part of the 50 State Geocache Series. This also is our first cache, so any feedback would be appreciated. It can be used as a gas saver for the other caches at Kingston State Park. This cache is located on the Kingston Plains (Town Green). Almost every New England Town has a Town Green and this along with Stone Walls & Congregational Meeting Houses are what reminds us of New Hampshire, our adopted home for the last 10 years.
A brief background on Kingston.
Incorporated: 1694
Origin: Kingston was the fifth town to be established in New Hampshire, and its charter was issued in 1694. The establishment of settlements was made possible by peace treaties with the Indians following King William's War, during the reign of William and Mary. This settlement, known as King's-Town, was probably named by residents who had come from Kingston, Massachusetts. Kingston was home to Dr. Josiah Bartlett, president of the state from 1790 to 1794, delegate to the Continental Congress, first signer of the Declaration of Independence, and founder of the New Hampshire Medical Society.
Population, Year of the First Census Taken: 906 residents in 1790
There's a New Hampshire Quarter in the cache as a token FTF and it is not necessary to remove the cache from it's location. Just remove the top and extract the log.
Parking: N42 55.716 W071 03.265 (across from KSP entrance).
Congratulations to TeamSebago on FTF & Happy Birthday!!!
