Geocache Description:



United States Marine Hospital

US Marine Hospital, Restored


The United States Marine Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky, in the Portland neighborhood was built in 1845, and is considered the best remaining antebellum hospital in the United States. Of the seven hospitals built in the mid-19th century by the Marine Hospital Service for the benefit of sick seamen, boatmen, and other navigators on the western rivers and lakes. It is the only one still standing, even after surviving two tornadoes! The building has been extensively restored to match its appearance in 1899.

The listed coordinate will bring you to a shelter along the riverwalk. Nice place to take a break and enjoy the view and make observations:

1. How many posts combine to support the shelters?
2. How many overhead light fixtures inside the two shelters combined?

N 38° 16.271 (plus) #post supports = North Coordinate
W 85° 47.035(plus) #light fixtures = West Coordinate

You are seeking a centrifuge tube and you can almost see it from here! The City of Louisville has provided an excellent safe access to the final

Please LOOK AROUND as you approach! (house on the corner)
