Geocache Description:

This cache is located at the Antioch School Community Center, which is owned by Henrico County.

The community center is used for occasional events and gatherings, so please use discretion.  The proximity to I-295, I-64, and RIC may make this a suitable spot for trackable items. 

There is no historical marker on site describing the school's history, so here's a snippet from Henrico County History Highlights:  "Antioch was built as a schoolhouse around 1920 to serve the families in far eastern Henrico.  Children who lived in the Elko community and surrounding neighborhoods had to travel long distances by horse and wagon to attend White Oak and Glendale schools.  At the continued insistence of families in the area, Antioch School remained in operation as a one room schoolhouse until 1965."
