Geocache Description:


A small camouflaged cache in a micro park.

This land originally belonged to Harm Jan Huidekoper of the Holland Land Company. In 1844, he donated the land to the Meadville Theological School when he joined the Unitarian Church. Harm Jan died May 22, 1854 at age 78.

The school merged with the Lombard College and moved to Chicago in 1926. This land was then donated to the City of Meadville and named Elizabeth Park, probably in honor of Mr. Huidekoper's youngest daughter. According to the "Historical and Industrial Review of Meadville", published in 1912, Elizabeth Huidekoper "took great pleasure in dispensing charity to the unfortunate and assisting worthy enterprises. She died January 28, 1908."
