Geocache Description:

On a recent road trip Love2Ski, Nigel and I stopped for a break in downtown Walla Walla. While Love2Ski checked out a nearby store (she's a quilter and cacher) Nigel and I stretched our legs in Heritage Park and enjoyed seeing this wonderful mural.


History

The murals depict 100 years of Walla Walla history from 1850 to 1950. They include images of cultural and ethnic groups, artifacts and ephemera, flora and fauna, and area landscapes, reproduced on porcelain enamel steel panels. The panels are mounted in the window openings of the historic facade of the 1902 Odd Fellows Temple which was dismantled, stone by stone, and reassembled here. More information may be found online .

Fun Fact

Originally, in 1902, the Odd Fellows logo was installed upside down. This error was corrected when the facade was moved here.

Virtual Cache Logging Requirements

To log this Virtual Geocache please upload a photo to your found it log of yourself and you GPS, or if you prefer, just a photo of your GPS, taken at the posted coordinates with the wall in the background. If your camera is also your GPS, use some other object, car keys, wallet... The important thing is that the picture demonstrates you're a cacher logging a virtual cache, not a tourist.

To maintain the integrity of this Virtual Cache, any find logs posted without the required photo will be deleted.
