This virtual cache is placed at the John DuBois statue located above the Penn State DuBois campus.
At the waypoint provided is the final resting place of John DuBois. John DuBois is who the city of DuBois was named after. John DuBois first came to Clearfield county in 1842. He saw the potential for timber and started to buy large tracts of land. He then developed the land creating businesses which attracted people to the area and grew the population. There was once only the singular burial plot here as John DuBois has requested to be buried on the hill with his face toward the town. This Hill (also called monument hill) once overlooked the DuBois mansion.
The monument you see today was rededicated on November 1 2018.
