Geocache Description:


This is a simple park and go cache in the middlesex area.

What is interesting is this is the first site of the village of Aimes that in its history before disaapearing moved three times.

Like many early settler villages mills and rivers determine their locations. You can see from here the land that was cleared and has been farmed for generations. Just a little down the road at the intersection was the location of a mill and hotel. Settled in th early 1830's many settlers to the area were vetrans of the war of 1812 or the Napoleanic wars. At its peak this site had upwards of 100 settlers working and clearing the area. About 10 years later the village was on the move further down the raod. Where exactly I may share with future caches.

The name Aimes may in fact have been choosen as named after the lull in the Napoleonic wars-1802 Peace of Aimes which later became a treaty.
