Pumpkin Hollow is the geographic and historical center of Conway. This Geo-cache is located inside the original town pound. The pound was built around 1769 when laws were made to prohibit livestock from running loose in the streets. Elijah Wells was the first hog reeve. A hog reeve or hog constable is a Colonial New England term for a person charted with the prevention or appraising of damages by stray swine. Wandering domestic pigs were a problem to the community due to the amount of damage they could do to gardens and crops by rooting. He built and lived in the house that is visible to the left of the cache.
The cache is a large plastic container should be easy to find for children and adults alike, quick and easy park and grab. Please remember to leave us a note in the log!
