Listed on the National Register of Historic Properties, this farmstead includes the Pomeroy's log home built in 1920, a working blacksmith shop, barn, extensive herb and vegetable gardens, pastures and woodlot. The Farm utilizes living history as an interpretational technique to share with school children and the general public what life was like on a pre-electrical farm several generations ago. Each May the farm hosts an Herb, Vegetable, and Sustainable Living Fair. As homes and industries grow into the countryside, farming becomes more and more something that goes on somewhere else, far away. Pomeroy Living History Farm remains a farm where an increasingly urban and urbane population is welcome to experience farm life firsthand. The farm's chickens, cows, goats, pigs, and horse are a great source of excitement and wonder for children.
In 2013, the farm hosted the last steam logging demonstration. Unfortunately due to insurance reasons this was the last demonstration that will be done and this was supposedly the last one in the United States. I went to this year's demonstration and it was quite impressive, especially the steam donkeys which are all powered by wood heat and steam.
The cache, which was placed with permission, is located just north of the parking lot. It is recommended that you search for this one during daylight hours. Since my GPSr was quite bouncy, feel free to use the hint to zero in on the hide.
This cache qualified for the 2013 Battle Ground Geocoin Challenge but all Geocoins have been handed out! Look for 2014 and future challenges for more geocoins! The codeword can still be used for the 2013 Bonus Cache, though.
