ginger4gingers: We moved and are unable to check on it regularly. I didn't find it last time I was in town, so it's probably best to let this one go.

Geocache Description:

This could take a little bit of time, so be prepared.  This is in an area that is prone to muggles after around 3 pm Monday through Saturday. Please be sure to replace the cache exactly as you found it and be respectful of the surrounding area.

This cache is in the parking lot of one of the historic buildings downtown that serves as a restaurant.  Built in 1848 it was originally an authentic German brewery by immigrant Joseph Knoble.  It served the local area including thirty one saloons until 1881. Over the years it suffered neglect until 1961 when the Charles H Wortz Jr family restored it as a Valentine's present from his wife.  In the 1980s it served as the Weidman brewery and in the 1990s underwent renovations to turn it into a restaurant.  In 2004 it became part of the chain it is today. This building is the oldest free standing building in Fort Smith with the least renovations. A special thanks to nuklear_spam for helping me with the container and placement. Congratulations to Starlight85 on FTF
