Geocache Description:

Over one hundred years ago, dusty stagecoaches stopped at the "Honeysuckle Rose" relay station to change horses and added two more in order to get over the Rapids. The stop also allowed the passengers to enjoy one of the most delicious meals on the Mississippi Rapids Road, The Ships Wheel!

Honeysuckle Rose Tavern by the Rapids was built in the 1860's as a way station to serve the travelers on the new "Bridge" over the Mississippi River that was constructed by Chinese laborers to ease transportation over the River. Passengers boarded stagecoaches that were very uncomfortable and they endured dangerous roads and the inevitable highwayman to make the trip over the Rapids. It was a time in our history that was both hazardous and romantic. The danger has long since passed but the romanticism has been carefully preserved and can still be found at the Honeysuckle Rose!
