Greetings,

It has been a while since I first looked at this cache. I can't find any recent responses about maintaining this cache so for the time being it will be archived and removed from the active cache listings. We are no longer leaving caches stay disabled for extended periods of time.

Groundspeak and the geocaching community appreciate your contributions to geocaching and I hope to see this cache back in operation soon.

If you can get it back up and running in the next week or so contact me to get it re-listed. Otherwise plan to move it slightly and set up a new cache page.

[B][green]Most problems can be solved with good communication so reply back to the reviewer and we will do everything possible within the guidelines to get your cache published. It is best to give me as much information as possible instead of saying nothing at all. This will speed up the process and we can get your cache published. [/green][/b]

*********************

I stumbled upon this park on New Year's Day while attending a bowl game party at a friend's house across the street. I didn't even realize the park was there nor the deep history it held.
The home on the park property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is the oldest structure in the city of Clayton. When it was built in 1855 as a rural farmstead, I'm sure Martin Franklin Hanley had no idea it would one day be in the middle of urban St. Louis. You do not need to enter this historic home in order to find the cache, nor do you need to disturb anything historic in nature. If you are interested in learning more about the history of Martin F. Hanley, there are tours of the home available by appointment M-F for a small fee of $3.
Permission was given by Sarah Umlauf, the community resource coordinator for the Hanley house, for placement of this cache.
