My dad used to come to Crary Mill's a bunch when he was little to go to dances and socials with his peers, and he joined his grandma at Roger Huntley's famous auctions too. When he told me there was a playground in town with a fishable lil crick (creek), I told him I wanted to go on an IndianaJayden geocaching adventure to scope out the crick and playground over in Crary Mill's.
Since it's my bday weekend we headed right over to get some playtime in, and here we are, hiding a cache in Crary Mills so everyone else can check out this once famous little town. I liked it best down by the crick so take a (careful) walk behind the fence line and check it out. You're looking for a blackened sandwich sized tupperware with room for tradeables/trackables and swag.
When we got home to post this cache we looked up the local history . . . it seems the Crary family was large, well known and prosperous too. They had dozens of buildings in town (mostly mills and factories), the first bath tub north of NYC (we're not kidding), and 4 of the siblings did so well they were multi-millionaires way back in the early 1900s.
Now Crary Mills is just a small residential village with a nifty little playground that has a short trail accessible from the back corner near Huntley's baseball field that leads down to the crick which is sometimes fishable when the waters are high. They even have a picnic pavillion for family fun time in the playground. And a great view if you look down creek behind the park.
Its open from 9am to 9pm and kiddos under 9 need adult supervision to be on the playground. Enjoy!!
