Cache is hidden near the historical Bain Park Cabin. Small cache container. Plenty of parking nearby. Stealth may be needed at times.
Envisioned by Fairview Village Mayor David R. Bain, this community center was originally completed in
1937 as a project of the Works Progress Administration, or WPA, a Depression-era work relief program
initiated by the Federal Government in 1935. A fire destroyed the original log cabin just four days before the
planned dedication. With the support of the community, Mayor Bain turned again to the WPA for funding and
labor to rebuild the structure. This cabin, constructed of bricks on the original foundation, features an 8'x12'
mural painted by artists of the WPA's Federal Art Project and which depicts Fairview's history throughout the
1930s. The new cabin was dedicated on January 15, 1940, and was named in honor of Mayor Bain in 1957,
four years after his death.
Enjoy the history and beauty of this area as part of this cache.
Have fun!
