Geocache Description:

Another restin' hide in an historic setting.


Another in the "Restin'" series for fans. This is also a PNG for anyone in need of a fast one. There was another cache here that was recently archived when they cut down all the shrubs at the south east corner of the cemetery. The church itself isn't used for services anymore but is used for weddings and ceremonies so there might be activity here at times. 

Here is the information on the church and area courtesy of the CO of the previous cache here.

Area History

In 1815—140 Scots came from Lord Selkirk's Red River Settlement in Manitoba eventually making their way to what is know as the Scotch Settlement in West Gwillimbury. A rich history unfolds in this area with the establishment of the first school and church building (1823) known as Auld Kirk. (see: "The Settlement of Auld Kirk" Cache). In 1865 a second church was established. Originally known as "The 2nd West Gwillimbury Presbyterian Church" — over time, the church became known as "The Scotch Settlement Presbyterian Church". The church was established (split from Auld Kirk) partly because some members wished to incorporate the use of an organ during the services. The church continued to operate until 1984 when the congregation joined together with St. John's Bradford United Church.

West of this church, the Scotch Settlement Arboretum (see: "Scotch Settlement Arboretum" Cache) was created by the Bondhead and District Horticultural Society.

You are looking for a camoed 1.5" by 1.5" micro container well concealed. It contains only a log. BYOP. Happy hunting!
