×Please take a long walk around the grounds and find more caches along the way. Discover the other side of the park in which there are trails for jogging, walking, and bicycling. Take a stroll over to her house and see that it had been built in 1822! The cache was originally going to be placed at the pond behind her house, but it now overlooks the new garden.×
*Gardeners who have been coming here for years say Louise would watch them garden through her window and sometimes even come oitside to ask for some tomatoes.* The garden has now moved over to make room for a new maintenance building. Enjoy!*
