The cache is located along the Welland Canal Parkway Trail. You will visit THE CARL, MISENER, BALD CEMETERY 1798
The cemetery is located on the north-west side of Carl Street/Towpath Road, overlooking the Welland Canals Parkway Trail on the west side of the Welland Canal, just north of the village of Port Robinson in the City of Thorold.
This cemetery has cultural heritage value as the resting place of some of the earliest settlers of the Port Robinson village area in the former Thorold Township. It is closely associated with the first two non-native residents in the Port Robinson area and their families - United Empire Loyalists John Carl, who set aside this land which was part of his crown grant for a burying ground, and Leonard Misener, who is buried here along with his wife Barbara Bender. Several other members of the Carl and Misener families are known to be buried here along with members of the Bald family, descendants of Thomas Bald. John Carl and Leonard Misener both settled in this area in the 1780's and Thomas Bald settled here circa 1794. The cemetery also has cultural associations with the history of the first Welland Canal. Among the 75 graves here are undoubtedly those of victims of the cholera epidemic which raged among canal workers and their families between 1832-34.
The container is a magnetic baggy, please bring your own pen and write date and name only.
