Geocache Description:

This summer’s hunt takes you to a long-closed country store. Look for a small metal box inside the screen door. Permission was granted by the owners to enter the porch.


Nansen Store was built in the early years of the 20th century by Norwegian immigrant Knut Skaar. Though closed for many decades, it has been restored by Bill Feller of Howard in recent years. Occasional celebrations are held here. You are just a short drive away from the town of Howard (pop. 850), a prairie community that has worked harder than most to reinvent itself for today’s challenges.
