Geocache Description:


Welcome back to Grant Cottage. The cottage opened as a historic site in 1890 with a live in caretaker. After many goings on at this site it was determined that the cottage would close for good. However, some applied pressure to the state and it reversed its decision and it operates to this day. I hope you take some time to learn more of the history at the cottage.
