Geocache Description:


As I was searching for places to hide geocaches, I came across some places in the area which I had driven by many times but hadn't stopped to appreciate.  One of those locations included a large signpost highlighting some local history.  The posted coordinates will lead you to this sign along a public sidewalk:  The Community, Churches, and Schools of the Hadley Township Neighborhood.  By perusing the information on this sign, you will find the answers you need to calculate the final coordinates of this geocache.
