This revives the original Winterbrook Cache with the permission of the Sudbury Valley Trustees.
Wolbach Farm is wonderfully family-friendly. This cache is located on their Storybook Trail, which has dozen stations, each with a couple of pages from a carefully chosen children's book. The SVT changes the story every season.
On a lovely March hike, my family and I noticed this archived hybrid letterbox/cache. A tree had fallen where it was originally placed, but someone had carefully moved it 25 yards or so. We found it, and with the help of DelaneyLady and the steward of the SVT, we've revived it. While Wolbach Farm is a lovely visit for the family, we hope finding this old cache adds to the fun. It was 14 years old and in great shape when we discovered it.
In another cosmic caching event, a cache that had been found once in six years was found 10 minutes later by my Geocaching friend Hypercycloid!
Revival FTF: mswma - an amazing 35 minutes after going live!

A Geocache/Letterbox hybrid, part of the SVT Letterboxing Challenge 2007
Winterbrook, now known as Wolbach Farm is contiguous with the larger Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. It is used by the Sudbury Valley Trustees as their main office.
In the 1910s, S. Burt Wolbach, a pathologist at the Peter Bent Brigham, and his wife, Anna Wellington Wolbach, purchased the farm, then used as a dairy farm. With the help of the landscaping of Frederick Law Olmstead, of Emerald Necklace Fame, the farm was transformed into a gentleman's farm. Dr. Wolbach kept his hunters in the barn. His very good friend and fishing buddy, Dr. Francis C. Newton, was offered the property of Dale End Farm by the Wolbachs when it came up for sale.
The two families did a lot of planting, both of red pine and hemlocks as well as the invasive rose species that are there.
The farm was named Winterbrook because of the stream that runs in between the two properties. It runs all winter long, and the animals use it for water all winter long.
John Wolbach, the Wolbach's younger son, left his property to the Sudbury Valley Trustees upon his death in 2002, after donating land to help the creation of the inland waterway for migratory birds at Great Meadows. Dale End Farm has so far stayed in the Newton Family, with the main house, guest house and barn all housing Newtons.
