BEST Geo-Art: E08/25
Greenwich Township, Berks County, PA
Greenwich Township lies within the Hardyston Jasper Archaeological District. This district within Greenwich Township is defined by intensive jasper usage by Native American Indians in lithic tool activity dating back 10,000 years.
The earliest known inhabitants of the Township were a meek and docile tribe of Delaware Indians called the Lenni Lenape whose ancient symbol was the turtle
The first European settlers came to the area in the early 1700's. These settlers were mostly Germans, although some were descendants of French Hugenots.
Greenwich Township was originally part of Albany Township. Greenwich Township separated from Albany Township and incorporated as a township in 1755. It was named by English settlers after Greenwich, England.
The early settlers were religious people as evidenced by the construction of their churches soon after settlement. As early as 1744, a reformed congregation known as the High Dutch was organized on what is now the site of Dunkels Church, and was known as "Dunkel's Kirche." The original log structure was replaced by a second log structure in 1790 and by a brick building in 1859. The brick building is still standing and considered structurally sound, although it has been vacant since 1971.
In 1744, who gave the German Reformed congregation the two acres to build the church?
A. Conrad Lenhart (N 40° 28.615 W 075° 55.217)
B. Conrad Koch (N 40° 28.621 W 075° 55.209)
C. Conrad Dunkel (N 40° 28.615 W 075° 55.201)
D. Conrad Dietrich (N 40° 28.627 W 075° 55.217)
Note: This cache has the hunting attribute selected. Hunters wear orange, and when the time is right, and so should you. During hunting season, it is best to do this series on a Sunday. The majority of the cache containers are hidden within 10 - 20 feet from the trail. Since these caches are hidden in the woods, you will encounter things like wildlife, poison ivy, bugs, ticks, etc. That is just part of geocaching in the great outdoors. Good Luck.
