Geocache Description:

green&black Lock&lock

Hidden near Schorn cabin and Trinity Episcopal in Swedesboro. The Mortenson-VanLeer Log Cabin, located on the Trinity Episcopal Church property, dates back to the 1600's, and is an example of Swedish-Finnish cabin structure, with cedar logs, carved joints and lime mortar caulking. The present church was built in 1784, under the guidance of Rev. Nicholas Collin (a friend of Benjamin Franklin) who designed and helped build the structure. It is closely patterned on the Georgian designs of Christ Church & St. Peter's in Philadelphia. Structural engineers see similiarities between the Trinity Church Tower and Independence Hall. Built within 10 years of each other, the towers have an internal pyramid design, with sloping columns connected to horizontal beams by wooden brackets called "ship's knees."

Check out the old cemetary, the oldest grave is from 1721.

Park around the corner off Kings Highway and walk up the steps to the cabin.
