Geocache Description:


Warning: The hint is a complete spoiler!

This will be an easy find.  Great for kids.  It's a large pill bottle with some stuff to swap out. There's no need to stick your hand in scary places you can't see.

The McCollum-Chidester House is a historic house at 926 Washington Street NW in Camden, Arkansas. It is now a museum operated by the Ouachita County Historical Society, along with the Leake-Ingham Building at the rear of the property. The 1-1/2 story wood frame house was built in 1847 by Peter McCollum and sold ten years later to Colonel John T. Chidester. It is one of the finest pre-Civil War Greek Revival mansions in the state. Chidester was a prominent businessman who controversially sought to do business with Union interests during the Civil War. After the war he established a mail company that operated so-called "Star Routes" as far west as the Arizona Territory. He was not implicated in bribery scandals that attended this operation.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
