Grasmere Duo: Needs to be archived. This lot has been sold and there is new construction going on. When

Geocache Description:

This winter friendly micro is hidden near an area that celebrates Goffstown’s humble beginnings. There is plenty of parking nearby. Log only, bring a pen.

During 2011, a variety of events were held to celebrate Goffstown’s 250th anniversary. This cache is intended to bring people to this area, hoping they will return when the nearby building is open so they, too, can celebrate the history of this town.

From the Goffstown Historical Society web site:
This town, as part of Massachusetts, used the names Narragansett Number 4, Piscataquog Village, and Shovestown before installation of the NH provincial government.. Goffstown was incorporated June 17, 1761. It includes the villages of Grasmere, Goffstown Village, and Pinardville. The town is named after Colonel John Goffe, an early settler, soldier, and civic leader. The town of Goffstown is 37 miles square, and is located in Hillsborough Co., New Hampshire.The first settlement was on the north bank of the Piscataquog River in what is now Grasmere Village.

Congrats to co-FTF's - Team Salford & ponil!
