Geocache Description:


History of Hawkinsville in the 1850's:

Three miles North of Boonville the village of Hawkinsville is building on the East and West side of the Black River; it has a fine water power, owned by A. Blake of Brooklyn, who has a Grist and Saw Mill, and will soon erect other buildings for manufacturing purposes. On the East side of the river is a building for a Woolen Factory. There are two Stores in the village; a large amount of lumber is deposited at Hawkinsville for shipment in the Eastern Marker; over one hundred and thirty boats have already loaded on the Feeder with lumber and wood, and the business is constantly on the increase. The tract of land North is new and heavily timbered, and will all find a market through the Feeder and Canal; its business on the Canal in another year will be more than fourfold, and increase from year to year as the Canal is finished.

In the year 2010 only the remains of the buildings are showing. The store on the corner is still standing but is empty now.

You are looking for a pill container in an area that could be high muggles at times. Either by fisherman or swimmers as this is the best darn swimming hole on a very hot day.
