Welcome to Livingston County’s Bicentennial GeoTrail!
My name is Find R. Fox. I’ll be your guide to super-sleuthing the hides at these amazing, historical locations all around our beautiful 200-year-old county!
To make your travel through history a bit easier, imagine yourself in a Time Machine (your best mode of transportation will do). Set the dial (your gps unit) to the first year (coordinates) listed below, check the waypoints for Parking and push the navigate button! Whirl your way there then switch your coordinates as needed to navigate to the geocache to sniff out the container and sign the log sheet. Good Luck & Enjoy the journey!!
Per request of this business, please visit between 8 AM - 8 PM.
The DePuy (according to Google, pronounced d-PWEE, with the accent on the last syllable) Mansion, built in 1901 on the corner of State and Massachusetts streets, was the former home of banker Issac J. DePuy, president of the DePuy Bank of Nunda.
The stately brick home served as the Nunda Community Hospital from 1930 to 1960 when it became a nursing home. In 1972, the building became the Nunda Community Home and remained an adult care facility until it closed in 2004. Now the building serves as the government center for the town and village of Nunda.
NOTE: A local quarry that supplied some of the rock for the building of parts of Letchworth State Park was called Bluestone, because there was a bluish color to the stones. That same quarry also supplied stone for the foundation of this building. Cache is NOT on the porch, but is near it.
Thanks to the Town of Nunda for permission to place this cache!
This cache is 1 of 36 caches comprising the Livingston County Bicentennial GeoTrail (LivCo200) placed in the summer of 2021 in honor of Livingston County’s Bicentennial by members of the local geocaching group called the Bee Hive.
