While this Cottage can speak for itself, oh do not miss the Red Barn in the background. Built around 1875, it was used to store hay and housed working horses. Honoria Livingston McVitty always called it the “Cow Barn”, although that might have been the grey barn that until the 1960s stood alongside of this structure.
This cache has been placed as part of the New York State Taconic Region Geocache Challenge. There are 76 caches hidden within 16 state parks and historic sites in the Taconic Region.
