This cache is located in the vicinity of historic Alova House in South Arlington.
This is a quick cache and grab for you to enjoy while you check out this historical house. The nearby historical marker explains how Arlington County got its name. Street parking is plentiful. Please don't park in the church lot. This is a log only cache. BYOP. Stealth is required.
The oldest part of this house may date from 1836 when John M. Young, a Washington wheelwright and carriage maker, purchased the farm from Thomas Hodges, planted a large orchard, and used the place as a summer home. In 1915, the farm was acquired by former Virginia State Senator Joseph Cloyd Byars, who several years later expanded the house. Byars also developed in this area one of Arlington’s early sub-divisions which he called Alcova Heights.
