Geocache Description:

Back to the Future

If you have ever watched the classic "Back to the Future" trilogy you are aware of the sinificance of the clock tower on the Hill Valley Courthouse. While this may not be Hill Valley, at the posted coordinance you will find yourself standing on the sidewalk in front of the Garfield County Courthouse, complete with a clock tower.

The courthouse was built in 1901 after the citizens of Garfield County authorized a $20,000 bond for the construction of a new courthouse to replace the 1887 wood-frame courthouse lost in the 1900 fire that destroyed much of the Pomeroy's commercial center. The statue of Justice that caps the clock tower is only one of twenty statues nationwide where the justice figure is not blindfolded. According to the City Council minutes of August 2, 1904, authorization was given to install a clock in the clock tower.

To log this virtual cache you must post one of the following with your log:
