Geocache Description:

Many have passed this location hundreds of times and never took the time to stop. Now you will have a reason to.

The cache is located in the town of Big Rock... (Not Bedrock, thats where Fred Flinstone lived).

Actually the town no longer exists, just this Historical marker and the rock the town was named after.

Big Rock

Natural features have often played a role in the naming of communities.

One such settlement was Big Rock. Named after a massive boulder,

this hamlet was located at the crossroads of present-day M-32 and Thornton Road.

Seth Gillet became the first postmaster in 1882. By 1902 a general store

owned by Briley Township pioneer William Remington housed the post office.

At that time a church and school, a grange hall, a sawmill and a blacksmith shop

were also located in Big Rock. The post office closed in 1920.
