Geocache Description:

This microcache will take you to one of Wilmington's historical sites, destroyed and now reborn. PLEASE DO NOT MOVE ANYTHING. The cache is clearly visible to the keen eye without anything needing to be moved! Please leave the area exactly as you found it. Good luck!

Originally built in 1814 when Wilmington was a small rural community, the Wilmington Town Pound was a stone enclosure used as a holding pen for stray animals awaiting retrieval by their owners. After standing for almost 200 years on a site near the corner of Glen Road and Middlesex Avenue, the pound was disassembled and removed in the spring of 2009 by the site’s property owners, without a care for its historical value. The town stepped in thankfully, and had it rebuilt nearby. Warren Newhouse did a superb job in reassembling the original stones into a structure that maintains the look and feel of the original Pound while creating a safe structure that will stand for generations to come.
