Geocache Description:

One of hopefully many future "Pitt" caches!

The community is located west of Baudette on Minnesota State Highway 11 at the intersection with Lake of the Woods County Road 6. A post office was in operation in Pitt from 1903 to 1993.Until then it had its own zip code and some long time residents of Pitt still have mail addressed to them in the zip code from 20 years ago. Pitt had a station on the Canadian Pacific railway line, but it has since been removed and is now only a whistle stop. The only business in Pitt is a boarded-up general store that closed in the 1990s, and little evidence remains of the town other than the state signs. To the north of the railroad tracks is a lot where pulpwood is handled.
Pitt was burned in the Baudette Fire of 1910.[2]
