Geocache Description:


This hopefully simple puzzle will highlight a few points of interest in the history of Brenton Point.


N 41° 27.A[B-6]C W 071° 21.DEF


In 177F, during the American Revolution, a battery was set up on the southwest part of Brenton Point as a coastal defense

Between 1876 and 188D, lawyer and businessman Theodore M. Davis built a mansion known as "The Reefs" on the property, where he lived until his death in 191E.

During World War II, an anti-motor torpedo boat battery, AMTB 923, was at Brenton Point from July 1943 until moved to Fort Wetherill in July 194C.

The heavily vandalized manor house at Brenton Point was partially destroyed by fire in 196A, then torn down in 1963.

Brenton Point was officially established as a state park and opened to the public in 197B.


Once you solve the puzzle, the final cache is a magnetic nano in a typical spot. Hope you enjoy.
