Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES! and it's not hidden in any sheds - like the one above!

The blue question mark sits in a parking lot directly behind the oldest free standing tobacco warehouse in Wisconsin; built in 1885. Pomeroy and Pelton Tobacco Warehouse #30 was sold to T.W. Dickinson & Sons in 1918.  You can still see remnants of both owner's painted banners on the brick,  if you look closely.  This building at 1 W. Fulton St., Edgerton, was listed as a national historic place on 7/09/98 - #98000848.  If you take a quick tour through town you'll see several other warehouses but, most of them are long gone as the industry has declined for decades for obvious reasons.  Several of these buidings have withstood the elements and time just long enough to be turned into downtown businesses and apartments.  It's nice to see some of this city's history and heritage reclaimed and become useful again. 

Solve the puzzle to find your way to this 'cache' crop!!
