You are hunting the 3rd place contest winner of the Unique Cache Contest 2022 in Addison Illinois October 29th. Prizes were awarded according to the number of favorite points given to the caches entered in the contest and logged on or before November 26, 2022.  Thanks and Congratulations Susan, The Museum and the city of Addison!  List of 2002 Entries https://coord.info/BMBNDZF

During your AL experience - you'll walk a paved path to five Memorials with interesting historic info about the Village of Addison. The last stop is here at the Addison History Museum. A three home property with the cords bringing you to the front with street parking on Army Trail. If you turn the corner on May you will find the museum parking at the garage. It kinda feels like a regular house except for the Park Here signs next to the parking pad.  There is enough for three or four cars there. If it's filled up, park on the street in front - Army Trail. 

To Find Final GZ for this cache... Translate with the info from the Adventure Lab: N 41° 55.ABC W 087° 59.DE2

You are looking for a log to sign in urban camo. Please go overboard to replace this geocache container as you found it so the next hunter has an amazing experience. 

I hope we were able to shine a little light on a bit of Addison history. If you would like more information please consider visiting The Village of Addison YouTube Channel and search for A Bit of Addison History 5 Minute videos.
