Geocache Description:

Welcome to the location of East Vulcan School aka "Little School".  Forgotten and hardly mentioned in history books, this cache has been put out in hopes to educate you! :) I have decided to make this a Trackable Study Hall!



  In 1901, the first school in East Vulcan was built at this location.  This was a two-room frame-style structure that would serve as a source for knowledge for the children of local miners and lumberjacks.  In the history records it is called "East Vulcan School" but the locals called it "Little School" on account of it's size.

   In 1925 this building was replaced with a stucco grade school.  Not much information can be found regarding this school other than a few pictures and gentle mention, but the location has remained vacant (other than a rock, bench and picnic table) since 1939 when the school was dismantled.  If you stroll around the semi-vacant lot, you will discover slight remnants of this historic structure.  There are concrete steps to the south-east, and a few patches of concrete spattered about the terrain.  

  This is now a Trackable Study Hall. I will make great effort in keeping it stocked with trackables, and would appreciate your help with this, too! Please feel free to take a picture on the historic steps or near the rock or have a lunch/snack on the picnic table. This is a public "park" owned by Norway-Vulcan Township and geocacher friendly!
