| Welcome to our "True or False" series of caches. The series contains 6 caches where you must determine whether or not the information in the listing is True or False. Your answer will then give you a digit to be placed into the coordinates when looking for the seventh bonus Mystery cache. Good luck and Happy Caching! |
Designed by R.F Houston, a local who was the founder of the Tweed Lumber Company in 1893, the jail was built in 1898 and opened in 1900. The jail was built for $350.00 and R.F Houston was paid $10.00 for his contributions. This jail was to replace the original one that was located in the Municipality building in the basement after it flooded. The jail measures only 4.8 meters wide by 6 meters deep and originally held 3 cells and a lobby area.
The most notorious prisoner to stay in the Tweed jailhouse was a man by the name of Gideon Butts. He was held there for one night in 1903, and then transferred to Nappanee. Butts murdered his wife because he was having delusions that she was a serpent.

To calculate coordinates for the final stage (which is really close by, so don't skip it!), follow these simple instructions:
- Take the date written on the rock in front of the Jail and multiply each digit together. (ie, if it was 1984 you would do 1x9x8x4 to get 288)
- Divide this answer by 2.
- Add the number of cells that were originally in the jail to your number.
- Get the North Coords by adding this value to the last 3 digits of this caches posted North coordinates.
- Sum each digit of the year the jail was built. (ie, if it was 1984 you would do 1+9+8+4 to get 22)
- Get the West Coords by subtracting this value from the last 3 digits of this caches posted West coordinates.
