Geocache Description:


Coordinates are for parking, not for cache location. The Kripplebush Schoolhouse museum is open on Sundays 1-4pm but you can search for this cache anytime.

The Kripplebush Schoolhouse is an 18th century one-room school house. The school was built in 1857 and closed in 1951 because of consolidation. The schoolhouse has been open as a museum since 2001.

Although you shouldn't miss the opportunity to visit this wonderfully preserved old schoolhouse, you will not need to go inside to search for the cache.

In addition to your trail name, town (and stamp if you are a letterboxer), please jot a note down about your favorite class in school, course in college, teacher or memory from school. Thanks.

The parking area is on a sharp bend in the road so you might consider parking just opposite of the parking area where Cooper St. comes into Route 2 (you have a better view of traffic in all three directions from there). The coordinates for this cache mark this parking spot.

This cache was placed by Young Buck as part of a Rondout High School Service Learning project in Mr. Gilman's US History class. If you have a question about this box or the project, please contact Mr. Gilman at smgnyc@yahoo.com or 845-399-9300.
