About this cache: You are looking for a lock 'n' lock container at Denning's Point. Watch for poison ivy!
According to Hudson Valley author Arthur G. Adams, the Wiccopee and Shenandoah tribes' burial grounds were on Denning's Point. Many places in our area are named for these Native American tribes. The hamlet of Wiccopee is on Rt.52, west of Lime Kilm Road. Shenandoah is the name of a road and a hamlet east of Lime Kiln Road.
Archaeological evidence indicates that Denning's Point was inhabited as early as 4000BC. That's a long time ago!
