Geocache Description:

This geocache should escort you back to the early 20th century. As you stand before Singleton Farm House, try to imagine the vast farming fields that once surrounded this area. Try to see New Egypt or Timmons Mill or Kimmons Mill or Oakford or Plumsted in a different light.

This is a geocache that is a part of approximately 11 geocaches within New Egypt that are placed at historically significant locations with the goal of informing the community of the history that surrounds them. This is the New Egypt Historical Society's Museum and meeting house. It has also held the title of Singleton Farm House. The historical society came into existence in 1977, where, the small group first met at the home of Carol and Donald Reed. The group needed a place to hold their collectibles, artifacts, and records. Singleton Farm was acquired by the Plumsted Township Board of Education in order to build a new Middle School. The house was of no use and was consequently sold to the township. The Historical Society told Mayor Ronald Dancer of their interest in the house to be used as a museum. The Mayor and Town Council then negotiated a 25-year lease to the Historical Society that was signed into effect at the Township Committee Meeting on January 25, 1999. To make the lease legal, a one-dollar bill was needed. Ten year old Boy Scout, Robert Maier, who was present at the committee meeting gave a one-dollar bill to cover the lease. He was subsequently made a lifetime member.
