Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are fake. Solving this cache's location may be tiring. Just like in the photo by Alison Colby-Campbell.

Haverhill has many great places to explore, and to geocache! There are conservation areas-see my Haverhill Trails series. And there are historically interesting sites. Those are Haverhill's Cultural Treasures. At each of the Haverhill Cultural Treasures series caches there are also questions and clues leading to the location of this Mystery ? cache. 


The Haverhill Cultural Treasures include Winnekenni Castle, Whittier Birthplace and Tattersall Farm as well as, Buttonwoods Museum, Haverhill Fire Fighting Museum and Duston-Dustin Garrison House. Each of these offer differing experiences for visitors. For cachers, visiting each of these places also affords you the opportunity to compile part of the information needed to find the Mystery ? cache related to another aspect of Haverhill history. Lastly, go through the Gateway to Mystery caches and bridge the final steps to this Mystery ? cache.

Winnekenni Castle, Whittier Birthplace and Tattersall Farm include extensive trail systems. Buttonwoods Museum / Haverhill Historical Society is a small dynamic organization with a historic site overlooking the Merrimack River. The museum tells the story of life in the Merrimack Valley from Native American settlements through today. The Haverhill Fire Fighting Museum currently houses the most extensive collection of artifacts relating to the City of Haverhill Fire Department including memorabilia, antique trucks, antique firefighting equipment, helmets, badges, uniforms photo's and more! Duston-Dustin Garrison House, built in 1697, is one of few brick homes remaining from that time and is part of the history of Hannah Duston who along with her newborn, was captured by and later escaped from native american warriors.
