Basically a PNG at an historical location. You are looking for a 35mm film canister. BYOP. We drive by this location every Monday. Today we decided to put a cache here. There was a cache at this location previously but its hidey hole has since being plowed over.
Runchey's Tavern: Robert Runchey was granted land in Louth Township in 1791 after serving the British Army during the American Revolution. By the end of the century he was running an Inn at this site. "Runchey's Tavern" became a well-known Coach Stop and local landmark. During the war of 1812 it was a meeting place for troops. Runchey, an officer in the Lincoln Militia, became the Captain of a company of black volunteers from the Niagara Peninsula. He commanded the "Coloured Corps" from its formation in the Fall of 1812 until the Winter of 1812/13. Runchey's Tavern building survived until the 1970's, when it was damaged by fire and torn down. Vestiges of its foundation, driveway, and landscaping are no longer evident. However, an historical plaque has been placed at the site.
