STGT:LE07: South Creek / Graycliff Cache Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

The-Driver: Unfortunately someone ruined this for everyone. Hopefully the new location and new container will be back by spring to support the series. I regret I can't keep up on this one as life has gotten very busy. Thanks to the hundreds who stopped by this location. I can't vouch for any trackables - hopefully they will turn up! Happy caching!

This cache is located just outside the town of Evans in a town park called “South Creek Park”. Evans was formed March 23, 1821. A small tract was taken from Hamburg in 1826 and annexed to Evans, and a part of Brant was taken off in 1839.

The first settlement was made in the territory of Evans in 1804 by Joel Harvey, who located near the mouth of Eighteen-mile Creek. If you follow South Creek toward the lake, you will come to a great fishing spot at the mouth of Eighteen-mile Creek. In 1806 Harvey opened the first tavern in the town.

After the war immigration to the town was rapid. A saw mill and grist mill were built on the site of Evans Center in 1815—16 and a hamlet gathered around which was called Wright’s Mills. About 1818 a post-office was opened on the lake shore with the name of Eden, in which town what is now Evans.

Less than a mile away is the Graycliff Conservancy. From the park Head Northwest on South Creek Road towards Route 5. Cross Route 5 and make a left on Lake Shore Road and follow the signs to this Frank Lloyd Wright Architectural Wonder!
