Geocache Description:


The eighth in a series of Nanos hidden within a short walking distance of Downtown Newport, the City by the Sea. I will try to bring you to scenic views, bits of history, or just a plain cool location.

St. Mary's Church is the oldest Parish in the Diocese of Providence. It was founded in 1828, and construction of the current church was started in 1848. Father Woodley's pastorate, which lasted three years starting in 1828, included Providence, Pawtucket, Woonsocket, New Bedford, Fall River, Taunton, and the entire state of Connecticut.

St. Mary's is probably best known as the site of Sen. John F. Kennedy's and Jacqueline Lee Bouvier's wedding on September 12th, 1953.

Cache is a nano as expected. It is located across Spring Street from the church. It can be reached from the sidewalk. Please use stealth when retrieving and replacing the cache. I want to make these easy, so please use the hint. Difficulty level is for the high muggle activity.

Parking anywhere close will be extremely difficult in the summer months. Please pay attention to all parking signs..we don't want anyone getting a ticket.

So, come on and cache a little in America's First Resort.
