Think You Know Gardner (TYKG) #2
Lucy Stone
The caches themselves are not at any of the locations that are mentioned in this series *OR AT THE LISTED COORDINATES*
Each of the cache locations can be found by completing the puzzles for that specific cache. Once you have found the coordinates (you can use the Geochecker if you would like) you are ready to go and find actual caches. The final bonus cache can be found by making sure that you write down the information that is located in each of the 6 caches (make sure you have the coordinates handy and the symbols that are on the tops of each of the logs) in the series.
Each of the caches are different. They are solved differently, they are hidden differently, but they are all micros or smalls and some are hidden harder than others. The final bonus cache is the standard lock and lock type container with enough room for swag. Please bring your own pen since the other caches will only hold a log.
The caches are all located in Gardner Forest. There are several other caches in the area (with one along the way.) If you continue along the path, you come out in Pearly Brook Reservoir with several caches located in that area also!
Lucy Stone(August 13, 1818 – October 19, 1893) was a prominent American abolitionist and suffragist, and a vocal advocate and organizer promoting rights for women. In 1847, Stone was the first woman from Massachusetts to earn a college degree. She spoke out for woman’s rights and against slavery at a time when women were discouraged and prevented from public speaking. Stone was the first recorded American woman to retain her own last name after marriage.
After Stone returned to Massachusetts as the first woman in that state to receive a college degree, she returned to teaching so that she could pay back several school loans. In October 1847, she gave her first public speech on the subject of woman’s rights, entitled The Province of Women, at the invitation of her brother Bowman Stone, to speak at his church in Gardner, MA.
The church has a cemetery (Old Burying Grounds) in the back with a memorial marker dedicated to her and another marker outside of the house on Elm Street that she frequented.
