Look for the US Geographical Survey marker as well-one doesn't see these often-On top of the wall beside the museum.
Well, the train depot is now a well-deserved railroad museum! I played here quite a bit as a young kid. The big, white, abandoned building to the right as you look at the museum from across the trail where the cache is located used to be a shoe factory. I was the neighborhood delinquent that soaped the windows on Halloween night. Across the lot where it says trail parking used to be a large, red, Blue Seal grain store. This occupied tons of my time. One side was like the Green Monster (only it was red) in Fenway Park. I can't begin to tell you how many games of wiffle-ball were played here. Mr. Jesseman, the proprietor, would frequently climb up onto the roof to retrieve one of our majestic home runs! He would give us Blue Seal baseball caps to wear, which we did, proudly! When railroad boxcars were backed up to the building we would often play in the car, stacking up the huge bags of grains and feed to build forts. Mr. Jesseman must have hated us, but he never refused us permission to play in his store. It was great to be able to climb up on top of the boxcars and pretend we were super heroes also! We all were able to actually run on the steel tracks themselves, we spent so much time on and around them. Often, as the freight trains were rolling by, we challenged ourselves to toss rocks into those boxcars that had doors open.
This was the area I learned to ride a bike and to drive a car.
PLEASE RE-HIDE EXACTLY AS FOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
