This cache is a pill bottle hidden on the grounds of the old Galveston County Courthouse. This should be a quick park and grab but beware of muggles and bring your own pen. Free parking is available along the street and behind the building at a visitor's lot located at 20th and Avenue H/Ball Street, as well as a handicapped ramp to the building.
The grounds of the courthouse have multiple historical markers and monuments. Of note is one of the nine remaining Rosenberg fountains provided by Henry Rosenberg's estate to allow people and animals to have access to water.
Immediately inside the lobby is the lens from Galveston's South Jetty Lighthouse. This lighthouse was activated after WWI and deactivated during the 1980's. Note: If you participate in the U.S. Lighthouse Society's Passport Program, please visit the museum inside the courthouse during operating hours to get your stamp.
The exhibit hall is open for free Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays 10:00a to 4:00p (except count holidays). Exhibits include local military history, Mardi Gras, 1900 Storm, Immigration Stories, Gambling history and more.
This cache is located approximately 7/10 of a mile from the cruise ports and Downtown Galveston.
The name of the cache comes from repeated comments by the public regarding the rich history found on the grounds and in the museum.
