Geocache Description:

A small hotel walking trail along a creek.

Small plastic box. The original contents were a TB, a Superbowl XXXVI pin, a spider ring, a rubber ball, a whistle, a pedometer, a Columbian Colones and a Dutch Guilder.

Zachariah Allen was a scientist born in Providence in 1795. He worked in the law office of James Burrill after graduating Brown. He then went into the manufacturing and the study of mechanics and published a book entitled Practical Mechanics. He published many times on diverse subjects such as tourism, science and nature.

He built the first hot-air furnace for houses and introduced the first fire engine in Providence. He invented many pieces of equipment used in the textile industry. He also developed hydraulic power in the village of Allendale.

He founded the Manufacturers’ Mutual Fire Insurance Company in 1835. This insurance company set premiums based on how well protected against loss a facility was; better locations were treated more favorably than those that were not protected. This company eventually became FM Global; housed in the building next door.
