In the Heart of Hoosierland Traditional Cache

You are looking for a micro cache.  Though technically it is on private property, you won't have to venture more than about 20 feet from the pavement to retrieve it. Permission was given by property owner to hide it here.

Congrats Booney 69 FTF!

About In the Heart of Hoosierland

This cache commemorates Louis L. Ludlow, born 1873 in Fairview Township, Fayette County, Indiana. He grew up just a couple of miles northeast of this cache.  In 1925 Mr. Ludlow published “In the Heart of Hoosierland”, a book about the stories of Indiana pioneers.  Many of his experiences growing up in western Fayette County in the 1800s are loosely told in his book.  He went on to be elected to the US Congress in 1928 as a representative of Indiana’s 7th district.  Before his career in politics, he was a political correspondent in Washington D.C., which he resumed after leaving office in 1949.

Louis Ludlow died in 1950 and is buried in Rock Creek Cemetery, Washington D.C.
