School House Pond
Prince George's County M-NCPPC
Information: 301-699-CALL(2255); TTY 301-699-2544

This Ranger cache will take you on a 0.60 mile round trip hile along a beautiful walking trail in Upper Marlboro. School House Pond, a quiet conservation area, provides a scenic environment for picnickers and hikers. Located across the street from the Prince George's County Administration Building, this site includes a 12-acre pond and surrounding parkland. A fishing pier, photoblind, ¾-mile boardwalk, picnic area, and nature trail are located on-site.
The School House Pond is located next to the Darnall's Chance Historic site. Take the time to visit this location on your visit! Opened to the public as a historic house museum in 1988, Darnall's Chance House Museum is dedicated to the interpretation and study of the history and culture of 18th century Prince George's County, Maryland with special emphasis on the lives of mid-18th century women. The Museum will seek to interpret the story of the widow Lettice Wardrop Thomson Sim, who lived at Darnall's Chance in the decades just prior to the American Revolution. The house and grounds will reflect 1760, the year Lettice Wardrop's first husband died and a room by room inventory was taken of the contents of the house. Darnall's Chance will also strive to accurately reflect the African-American community on the site and town life in mid-18th century Upper Marlboro, Maryland.

This area has a high muggle concentration, be very stealthful when finding this cache.
This cache is MNCPPC park approved
