This cache is located at the site of Montauks First House. The house is no longer there, but a small cemetery has taken its place. This spot is so hidden, not many people know it is here. Cache is a small camoed container with log only. Bring your own pen.
Old Montauk Highway was laid out in the 1700's by ranchers who grazed livestock on the Montauk Peninsula. • In 1792 President George Washington authorized construction of the lighthouse. • Montauk is the home of the first cattle ranch in the United States. With the herding of cattle here, housing had to be built in the 1740's – First House was built near Hither Hills Park, then Second House at its present site and, finally, Third House. First House burned down in 1917, Second House is now a museum and Third House is the headquarters for the County Park.
