Geocache Description:

Three Stages: 1st stage has half a set of coodinates, the 2nd stage has the other half.  Use both to find final stage.

I considered making a multi-cache with all the histoical markers in Council Grove.  That would have been 24 stages in the cache.  Way too many for me to find so I didn't want to do that to someone else.

So, I picked three spots along Highway 56 with good parking and good hiding spots, The Calaboose and The Council Oak. 

Stage 1 is located at N 38 39.710 W 96 28.841. 

Stage 2 is located at N 38 39.711 W 96 29.054.

Stage 1 contains the North portion of the final destination.
Stage 2 contains the West portion of the final destination.

Be sure to read the history, remembering, those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

The first two stages are hidden in the same manner.  Sit down and think about it if you need help.

The final stage is different. 

Beware of muggles learning about our city.

For more information about the hide areas, see items 4, 16 and 17 in the Related Web Page link.
