When I first began my geocaching adventures I knew when I hid my first geocache I wanted it to be at Clermont. Here it is!
This cache is located off the White (Riverside) Trail at the Clermont State Historic Site. As you walk from the main site parking lot make sure to check out the Hudson River and Catskill Mountain views along with the Arryl House ruins. Alternative access to the cache may also be made from the Bridle Trail.
Clermont State Historic Site was the Hudson River seat of New York's politically and socially prominent Livingston Family. Seven successive generations of the family left their imprint on the site's architecture, room interiors and landscape. Robert R. Livingston, Jr. was Clermont's most notable resident. His accomplishments include: drafting the Declaration of Independence, serving as first U.S. Minister of Foreign Affairs, administering the oath of office to George Washington, negotiating the Louisiana Purchase and developing steamboat technology with Robert Fulton.
