Geocache Description:

First of what I hope will be a nice handful of Famous Kansan caches.  Almost wheelchair accessible, but probably not quite.


Russell Stover

Russell and Clara StoverCandy maker. Born: May 6, 1888, Alton, Kansas. Died: May 11, 1954, Miami, Florida.

Born in a sod house in Alton, Russell Stover eventually ended up back in Kansas after some moving about. He was a candy maker when he began to sell Eskimo Pies, which were a big success.

He sold out his company and opened another one which eventually became "Russell Stover Candies." Russell Stover was headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, and Stover lived in nearby Mission Hills, Kansas.

When he died in 1954 the company was selling about 5,500 tons of yummy stuff a year.

Thank you to the Kansas Historical Society for the brief biography.

You're looking for a small lock-and-lock-like container, though not nearly as well sealed as a lock-and-lock.  I actually placed this about 2 months ago and didn't list it, went back to check and it is still there so it seems it won't wander off easily.

Additional Hints (No hints available.)
