Geocache Description:


This puzzle cache will involve doing some fairly easy research on the history of Rhode Island T.F. Green Airport, which as locals are aware is located in Warwick instead of the advertise Providence. The cache is not located on airport property and you do not need to visit the airport in any capacity to find it. All information to solve is available on the Internet.

N 41° 43.[A+1]BC W 071° 26.[D-3]EF


T. F. Green Airport was dedicated on September EF, 1931, as Hillsgrove State Airport, drawing what was at that time the largest crowd that had attended a public function in the country.

In 193A, the airport was renamed in honor of Theodore Francis Green, who had just been elected to the Senate two years earlier.

President Richard Nixon made a campaign stop at the airport on the night of Friday, November D, 1972.

To enhance itself as the lone airport for a metro area of over 1.C million people, a new terminal was built on Post Road in 1964, replacing the old 1933 terminal along Airport Road.

In 201B, T. F. Green was named the official airport of the New England Patriots.


Please rehide the final cache as you found it. Hope you enjoy.
