Dot Plotter: Per this link http://www.boydville.com/ it appears this isn't an April Fool's joke. The current owner is not a government but appears to be a private citizen.

Please retrieve your cache as soon as practical. Sorry for the troubles geocaching without proper permission may have caused. Perhaps the caretaker can suggest a suitable spot for a new cache in the future.

Geocache Description:

This is an easy cache with lots of goodies I have many caches in the mountains of Canaan Valley but its time to put one by my other home. This one is easy I love walking the Boydville grounds day and especially at night walking my Labrador I think I have seen a few ghosts in the windows!

This mansion built in 1812 by Elisha Boyd, General in the war of 1812, on land bought from General Adam Stephen. Mansion noted for its fine workmanship. Home of his son in law, Charles J. Faulkner, Minister to France yes a Frog and his grnadson U.S Senator Faulkner there we go! Look out for muggles it is unusually quiet in this great spot. I love the small house on the side which was a library at one time, there is a great lane on the side with a cool iron gate witch or which shall I say is my shortcut from my house on south street by the courthouse. Plus an old graveyard very old est. 1774 (Catholic). The town of Martinsburg just bought the land from would be developers! It is open inside to the public a few times a year although you are free to walk the grounds they are beautiful and getting better all the time. Enjoy WV MacDaddy!

"In the early years of the nineteenth century
when Martinsburg was only a comfortable village
and what are now streets
were gardens, cow pastures and forests,
there stood at the southern edge of town, a white plastered home
surrounded by spacious grounds shaded by oaks, elms, and maples."
from A Family History
