Welcome to "Insurgents in Sergeantsville," a series of caches with a trifold purpose: to introduce folks to our funky little village; to provide a bit of history along with the thrill of the hunt; and to teach the proper pronunciation of the town.*
This building was a private residence in the early 1700's in a small town called Skunktown. When the United States Post Office came to town, they would not legitimize the name of Skunktown and the town was renamed Sergeantsville after the Sergeant family. With the addition of the two wings in the 1830's it became a grain and feed store. Before the restaurant opened in the early 1900's the building was also used as a grocery store, ice cream parlor, feed store and a pelt trading center.
Today, this building houses a very popular and well-reviewed eatery. If you arrive near dinner or lunch time, in addition to urging stealth, I highly recommend the Tomato Bisque and a pint of Blue Moon ale. I am also told that the exotic game meats served are excellent; you may wish to try the bison.
If you find this cache and the other 3 in the series you will collect the information needed to find the final GC2EXFY at: N40 27.06b W074 58.c0d
The buildings across the street also have historic significance; the current location of WDVR, the local radio station, was a blacksmith shop from the 1700s until the 1930s and the general store building dates to the 1800s.
The other caches in the series are:
GC2EXBA Insurgents in Sergeantsville #1: Riding in Circles **archived 11/6/20, final coordinate clue above has been updated
GC2EXBE Insurgents in Sergeantsville #2: Downtown
GC2EXBN Insurgents in Sergeantsville #4: Behind the Green
#s 2, 3 and 4 are all within walking distance, but you will have to drive a short distance to the final. You could walk up to #1; just be careful as it's a fairly busy road with no sidewalks.
*It's SIR-gents-ville, there are no sergeants in Sergeanstville! It's a surname, sir!
