Geocache Description:


Welcome to Medalta in the Historic Clay District, a National Historic Site located in Medicine Hat, Alberta. This cache has been placed by Medalta staff as part of our mission to share the history, stories, and adventures of this unique cultural landmark.

As you search, imagine the bustling pottery factories that once stood here, shaping clay into wares shipped across Canada and beyond. Today, Medalta is home to museums, artist residencies, and community spaces that keep this history alive in new and creative ways.

This geocache is hidden on Medalta grounds with permission from staff and placed by the summer camp students of 2025. Please be respectful of the site, its history, and other visitors. The cache is available during daylight hours only.

Notes for Finders:

  • Please replace the container exactly as you found it.

  • Respect the heritage buildings and displays – the cache is placed so no climbing or tampering with artifacts is required.

  • Bring your own pen to sign the logbook.

  • Take a moment to explore the incredible history and artistry all around you!
