Geocache Description:

You do NOT need to move any rocks in the stone wall to find this cache.

This cache will bring you near Van Cortlandt House which is the oldest building in the Bronx, built in 1748. It's been operating as a museum since 1897.

The cache is along an old road lined with stone retaining walls. This road was most likely the main access between the house and the mill.

Make sure you take a look at the grand stair case that approaches the closed-off front gate of the house. It's a very interesting area!
