Geocache Description:


Welcome to Delhi!

In many small towns, there's a central place to gather. It's no different in Delhi as we have the square. This square is a meeting place for many things throughout the year, and in all seasons. There are festivals and markets and everything else. In warmer months, the square hosts a great farmer's market on Wednesdays. Every Friday in July features the Fair on the Square, with food and activities for all ages. In 2023, the fair will mark it's 50th! In the fall, there's the harvest festival. And if you come at different times, there are other activities and events going on. Saturday Evening post delhi

The cool thing though? On July 7, 1951, the gazebo on the square was featured on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post! The old tale many believed to be true was that the cover was painted by Norman Rockwell, but that is a tale that is not true. It was actually painted by Stevan Dohanos.

Over time, this cover has been seen in many places around town. 

The gazebo is one of the pieces of Delhi that people remember. The square is also a home to a Civil War monument, the Delaware County Courthouse, as well as some blue historical signs. There is a lot of history on this square, so I hope you enjoy it!

To claim this virtual cache, please do the following: 

1. Take a photo of you (or your GPS) with the gazebo. This photo must be posted to the page. If no photo is posted within a few weeks of the log, it will be deleted. 

2. Please message me through the geocaching.com page and tell me the following: 
    - How many canons are surrounding the Civil War monument. 
    - Who is the Chief Justice listed on one of the plaques?
    - Which regiment is listed on the other blue sign?
    - What is the year listed on the County Clerk's Office building?
    - What is the name of the building across the street from the square?

Have fun and I hope you enjoyed your Delhi visit. There are several geocaches and an adventure lab in town, so check those out! There are some great places to eat as well, if you need to fill yourself up! Check out all of the other geocaches in the area!
