Geocache Description:

Fun and creative geocache brought to Kewanee iIllinois. Based on a geocache placed and maintained by the World HQ out in Seattle, WA. 


This house was featured on the TV show "If These Walls Could Talk" about a decade ago. This house was built in the 1900s by Mr. Robert Hershey. He had been a pharmacist during the Great Kewanee fire. His drug store had burnt down during the fire, so he had moved his store to the enclosed front porch and ran it there for many years. His wife had run a beauty school in the basement from the time the house was built, until after Mr. Hershey had closed his pharmacy.We know this because of files, pictures, documents, and other items discovered in the upstaires "cake topper" of the house, and was the reason why the house was featured on TV. 

 

This Geocache is based on one of my favorites out in Seattle near the World HQ of geocaching.
