This cache sits near the small village of Colestown, which was founded in the late 1600s and centered around the nearby intersection of King's Highway and Church Road. In 1685, Samuel Coles bought 1,00 acres here, giving the area it's name, and it eventually contained homes, a church and cemetery, stores, and a blacksmith shop, of which only the cemetery remains (with it's famous gatehouse, built in 1858, and burials dating back to the 1600s). It's rumored that Lenape indians were buried beneath the church and that George Washington once took communion here. The church burned down in 1899 and was not replaced.
This was also the site of the Fountain Hotel in the 1800s, which brought people here through it's famed mineral spring.
Cache is available dawn to dusk. Please enter the park by the marked trailhead, do not cut through anyone's yard or through nearby parking lots.
