Geocache Description:

Thanks for visiting one of the Forgotten Villages of Van Buren County along the Des Moines River.  Perfect place to watch the river go by!


Palestine was settled by unknown parties before 1837.  The Congressional Survey that year showed it was partly located on Reserved School Lands that could not be sold.  This doomed the town and the balance of it was bought by Robert Cummins for the benefit of Philip R. Rice.
