Geocache Description:

Solve the puzzle below to get the final coordinates to the cache. 

It’s 2025 and geocachers all over the world are celebrating 25 years of geocaching.  In honour of that and the many events being held in Southwest Ontario, Team2025 created this geo-art!

You will find a variety of puzzles ranging from multiple choice to real brain twisters.

Caches are located along county roads where active farming is happening.  Please pull well off the road, use your 4-way flashers as you see fit and yield to any farm machinery you may encounter.

All containers, with the exception of a few regular sized containers are centrifuge (Lisa) tubes zip tied in place and should be easy to find. Have fun!

No night caching please!

The Bell Homestead

Here at his parents' home in July 1874, Alexander Graham Bell conceived the fundamental idea of the telephone and, in August 1876, carried out the first successful long-distance trials. The Homestead evokes the formative influence of Bell's father, an authority on the acoustics of speech, and of his mother who was deaf. They stimulated their son's lifelong interest in teaching the deaf to speak, a passion that proved crucial to the discovery of the telephone. Since the early 20th century, the Bell Homestead has served as a symbol of this inventor's remarkable achievement.

Description of Historic Place

Bell Homestead National Historic Site of Canada is a suburban property featuring a typical mid-19th-century rural Ontario house influenced by the Picturesque aesthetic. One-and-a-half-storeys in height with a low-pitched gable roof, it features a central door, gable end chimneys, an attractive wooden front porch, a conservatory, and picturesque landscaping. Also on the lot are a wooden carriage house and a grouping of modest structures associated with the operation of the site as a museum. Official recognition refers to the homestead at the time of designation.
