This is another cache in the Faded Markers Series. This series will mainly focus on older, near forgotten burial plots of pioneers in the Niagara Region and beyond. The goal of this series is not necessarily the length of the walk nor the difficulty of the find, but rather a simple reverence for those who came before us to shape our area.
It has taken me a few years to locate this cemetary, but I would like to welcome you to the Hutt/Brown Cemetary, or more specifically, to the north of said cemetary. The cemetary is located on private property and although I do know the property owners personally, I have chosen not to place the cache in the cemetary as it is too far onto their property and cachers would have had to hike a long distance over the fields to reach it.
The posted co-ordinates will take you almost directly north of the cemetary, so if you have good eye-sight, or a good pair of field glasses, you will be able to see the distant markers in the patch of greenery surrounded by the farmer's field.
Now for a little history lesson...
The property was originally owned by Adam Hutt, Esq. (1762 -1842). The land was eventually purchased by the Brown family who still farm the land to this day. There are four known Hutt family members interred here. Adam and his wife Dorothy, Jacob and William. Also known of is Mary McGlashan (wife of Alexander Robertson) and Margaret Muirhead.
The trailhead to this cache is located just to the west of Ground Zero, on Taylor Road, and parking can be found at the nearby Woodend Conservation Area. Just follow Taylor Road from Woodend until you are west of GZ and the trailhead is there.
Have fun and happy caching!
