Geocache Description:


You are seeking a camo pill bottle


From this vantage point you can see the iconic smokestack belonging to what was once one of Clarksville’s strongest economic drivers of the 1960s, the Frosty Morn Meat Packing Company. Frosty Morn opened in 1948 and at its peak employed over 600 employees before eventually closing in 1977.



The city acquired the property involuntarily at a delinquent tax sale in 2013. Since then, city officials from the Department of Housing and Community Development in Clarksville have worked with both state and federal authorities to find a source of funding to safely demolish the plant and flatten the property. However, with demolition costs estimated at over $1.2 million, the building still stands tall after almost six years of being in the hands of the city, and with no real plan as to how to property will be used once the plant is demolished, it stands abandoned. Health officials stated in 2015 that "Frosty Morn doesn't pose enough of a hazard to the community to be considered an emergency demolish."
