Geocache Description:


This cache is located within the King City Cemetary, relatively close to an octagonal structure known as a "Dead House" (!).

Built around 1889, the "dead house" was a temporary resting place for those who passed away during the winter, when the earth was frozen. Its interior consisted of nothing more than shelves for caskets. Dead Houses are apparently unique to communities bordering Yonge Street. This particular structure was used up until the 1920's but is now utilized for general storage.

The cache only contains a log book, so please bring your own writing implement. Trackable coin (unactivated) for the FTF.
