A simple multi-stop Wherigo in Jamestown's Frontier Village. It will take you to some of the newer child friendly entertainment and educational activity areas.Please take the time to wander through the rest of the Frontier Village while you are here.
The terrain is mostly level and most of the area is blacktop or concrete or wooden sidewalks with ramps and the WhereIGo stops are accessible. Except the area where the final container is located, which is mowed grass. A wheelchair can be taken close to the final, but the container is probably not retrievable by a person sitting in a wheelchair, so we have rated the terrain 1.5.
May 2026 - Due to some reoganization of exhibits at the Frontier Village, the stops have moved for this cartridge. Currently, the Farmstead Parkette is near where the Railroad Parkette used to be and the Railroad Parkette is near the Depot across the street which is a temporary location. Once the new locations for these parkettes have been finalized, we will update the coordinates in the cartridge. Instead of disabling the cache, we will temporarily provide the questions and answers on the cache page so people can still do the WhereIGo. You will still need to walk to the location to trip the zone in the cartridge.
