In the Town of Lucas, Kansas is the Garden of Eden.
The creator of this concrete and limestone collection was Samuel Perry Dinsmoor, a retired schoolteacher, Civil War veteran, farmer and Populist politician. Gripped by a deep desire to create at age 64, he started building the Garden as a residence in 1905. His house is made of limestone cut to look like logs. His sculpture garden surrounds it. He opened his home as a tourist attraction in 1908, even as his vision of biblical and modern man was being molded out of 113 tons (2,273 sacks) of concrete. He continued building and displaying up until his death in 1933.
Dinsmoor had prepared for his death by building a 40-foot-high limestone mausoleum in one corner of his garden. When he died, he was embalmed and put on display. Even after 60+ years you can look through his glass-sided coffin and see the moldering creator of this heavenly splendor.
Although there is an admission to go through the house and yard, you will not need to pay admission to find this cache. It can be viewed outside the fence. The coordinates should put you just behind the sculpture that you need to view..and if not at least close enough to figure it out anyway.
Should you decide to take the tour, the hours are: Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. from March 1st through November 31st. Tours are available on an hourly basis.
To verify that you have found this cache and claim credit for a find, visit the site and then, Email me the four occupations listed on the signs and the word on the sign between them above the back fence. Please don't post it on the web site.
