This cache is our take on a cache that we found in Nakusp when we went to the garlic festival in New Denver. Once you find the cache you will need to remove the logbook container this will be easy to do but will take a bit of figuring out.
Please be gentle. The cache is not in the rocks and flowers.
The Little Schoolhouse was built in 1898 and served the students of Peachland until 1908 when the Primary School on Beach Ave was built. St. Margaret’s Anglican Church used the building until 1991 and it was transferred to the District in 1997 and slated for demolition. A group of volunteers formed the “Friends of the Little Schoolhouse Society” and offered to restore the building at no cost to the taxpayers. Following substantial renovations, the “Friends” formed the “Peachland Little Schoolhouse Society” in November 2001. Their mandate was to maintain the building at no cost to the municipality, and ensure that it was used for artistic, cultural and community events.
The natural lighting from six large windows together with track lighting is remarkable -- a unique place for artisans to work, demonstrate, and exhibit their crafts. For the past ten years, the Peachland Little Schoolhouse (PLS) Society has featured the Summer Arts Program, dedicating July and August to local artists and giving them free use of the school. The program is sponsored by the Peachland Community Arts Council who pay the rent for July and August. Every Sunday, tea is served on the patio from 1–4 pm (using locally donated fruit) with local artists in attendance.
