Old Skool Series #1, The Cedar Grove School Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

This is the first in the Old Skool series. The Old Skool series is a series that take the geocacher to historic or admirable buildings that were once schools.

This particular cache is hidden at the Cedar Grove One Room School House in Sybertsville, Pennsylvania just north of Hazleton. The Cedar Grove School is one of the original schools houses in Sugarloaf Township. There was also Pine Grove, Brown's Grove, and Robert's Elementary. It is located behind the Brainerd Presbyterian Church, which was built in 1853, damaged in 1954 by Hurricane Hazel, and underwent reparations in the 1980's. The church is named after Rev. David Brainerd, who was a missionary to Native Americans during the 1740's. Photobucket Above is a photo of the Cedar Grove School today. Photobucket Left is a photo of the Brainerd Church in its early days. Pictured from left to right are Minerva Thompson, Mary Roth, Lavina Roth Peters, unknown, and Mary Hauze. Both of the Roth women are relatives of mine. Photobucket Lastly, above is a painting of Rev. David Brainerd. Congratulations to Pumpkinking27 and LittleCountVonCount on First to Find!
