Geocache Description:

Welcome to Stoner House in Downtown Westerville, Ohio.

This is #3 in my series of Historical Markers. This cache is going to require stealth if you do this one during the day. Although, the business owners in the near vicinity are fully aware of this cache, so cache with confidence :)


Please remember, due to the buildings, wires, and tree cover, your signal is going to have a higher variance. Please allow up to a 30 foot variance. The clue is your best insight to the cache location. Use the geo-force :) :)
This cache is best suited for after business hours or at night. Not really recommended during the day.



The Stoner House, built circa 1862 on a natural spring thought to have medicinal properties, served as an inn, tavern, and spa, and as a hiding place for runaway slaves.

George Stoner, owner and operator, drove the stagecoach from Columbus to Westerville transporting passengers who spend the night in this building.

Runaway slaves were brought to this location in the luggage compartment of Stoner’s stagecoach and hidden in the cellar until they could be transported further north on their journey to Canada and freedom
