Mooresburg One Room School Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

A quick and easy cache and dash at a historic site in "downtown Mooresburg". There is a gravel parking lot right in front of the school. If you look through the trees, you might even get a glimpse of bigfoot in the field across the road.

The Moorseburg One Room Schoolhouse Museum is owned and maintained by the Montour County Historical Society and marks Moorseburg as the birthplace of Christopher Sholes, the inventor of the typewriter (where would all be now if this invention hadn't led the way to modern keyboards? Christopher Sholes - you ROCK!)

Many thanks to the Historical Society who gave permission for the placement of this cache. The main location for the Historical Society is on the corner of Mill St. and Rt. 11 in Danville.

As you try to find this one, you can work from the side away from the road to help with your stealth-ability. After you're done, feel free to check out the "his and hers" outhouses (I'm not sure they're still functional, but why wouldn't they be?) Several photos of interest features of the building and grounds are in the gallery.

This cache was placed for the Welcome Back to Bloomsburg event (GC1N1E2) on August 1, 2009. Congratulations to mountainfolk406 snagging the FTF Prize (a new, unactivated Hogwild Famous Traveling Geocoin).
