Geocache Description:

This cache is part of the Schuylkill 100 Year Two Cache Event, where One Hundred (100) New Caches were placed throughout Schuylkill County and launched for this event. **Bring a pen or pencil.**

As you enter the small village of Newtown, sometimes called Zerbe, you will find me greeting your arrival Newtown, like many local communities, have decreased in size and population over the years. In the golden days of coal production, Newtown was a busy community with stores, schools, churches, drinking establishments, coal breakers and residents. As the coal business decreased, so did the community. Today you will still find an active church, automobile garage, a fire company, a small coal breaker(has since closed) and maybe a couple small businesses. But like many of these small communities, you will find caring warm-hearted residents that will help anyone out in times of trouble. This should be a quick cache and dash.
