Geocache Description:

Come and visit Corbyville.

The property known as Corbyville, is located within the municipal boundary of Belleville, Ontario approximately 4 miles north of the downtown area and 1 mile north of the 401 and Hwy. 37 exchange.

It was customary for farmers to set aside a portion of their inferior grain to be made into whisky, and as Henry Corby was already making whisky for the locals, it's no wonder that he became interested in the distilling process. In 1857, Corby built a dam and established a grist-mill on the bank of the Moira River.

In 1859 he built a distillery which became more important than the mill. Approximately 50 acres were previously development as part of the distillery, however, most of the buildings have since been demolished.

Several structures remain on site Cache is a small hidden near the Moira River
