Geocache Description:


I have enjoyed many of the “Historical Hamilton” series of caches over the years, they have brought me to many interesting spots.  Hamilton is not the only city with a deep rich history, Burlington has one as well.  That’s why I’ve started this series of caches - based on the “Historical Hamilton” series.  This is the first one.  Please feel free to add to this series of caches, it does not need to be limited to one owner.  If you know of a historic place in Burlington to which you would like to bring people, feel free to add it to the series!
