This cache represents the start of a history series of multicaches. Stage One will take you to a historical marker to learn about the history of a locality, and stage two will be a short drive away. Bring a TOTT for help with extracting the log! We hope this will get cachers to explore more about the people, places, and events that have shaped our communities. Enjoy!
Stage One for this cache will take you to a historical marker by Norcross City Hall. Here, you will use the information to solve the final coordinates. The final is approximately 1.5 miles away near an office park in Peachtree Corners.
