This is a traditional micro cache located around the graveyard for the Stone Chapel. Please observe all the normal graveyard rules i.e. the place is closed from dusk till dawn and as there is a church there no caching during services.
Historically this place is rich in it’s heritage. The society from which this church sprung was nearly contemporaneous with that at Moore's on Scioto Brush Creek. In 1797 Joseph Moore organized a class in Methodism at Isaac Wamsley's on Ohio Brush Creek with Simon Fields as leader. The first tweeting house, constructed from logs in 1802. was known as Fields'. It was afterwards known as Burkett's, and later upon the erection of the present structure, "Stone Chapel." There is a graveyard there, but owing to a thick ledge of stone lying near the surface of the ground, it is not used much as a place of burial.
This church is on the West Union and Cedar Mills turnpike, about five miles to the east of West Union, and two miles from the crossing of Ohio Brush Creek. It is built of dressed limestone and is in a very good state of preservation. I was erected in 1886.
You will have to bring a pen as this is a micro (35mm film container) cache.
