The cache has been placed in the Historic Brussels Jailhouse.
This unique structure is located in the quaint little village of Brussels Illinois which has been granted the status of National Historic District by the U.S. Dept of Interior and The Illinois Historic Preservation Agency.
The Jail was originally called "The Calaboose" and was built in 1876 about the same time as the town's boundaries were established. The corrugated iron was added in 1889. It was mostly used to house men overnight for drinking too much beer and is said to have once held 12 men who had to sleep standing up. The last known "prisoner" was held there in 1952.
The container is located inside the structure. You are searching for a Magnetic Flat One Inch Round Container that holds only a log sheet.
Bring a writing instrument to sign the log – this cache has a small log sheet so sign with date and name only.
Bugs or Insects could be present. Search accordingly.
Access to this cache is by an adjacent gravel parking area.
