Believe it or not, the United States is approaching a huge milestone—the Semiquincentennial, or 250th birthday, in 2026! I’ve actually been meaning to submit this event since March, and figured now is the perfect time to finally make it happen.
Since I’m never in town around the Fourth of July, I’m celebrating a little early this year—because why not start the party ahead of time?
Come hang out, talk geocaching, and celebrate America’s upcoming 250th birthday with fellow cachers!
📍 Location: The Village Tavern
📌 Address: 135 Old McHenry Rd, Long Grove, IL 60047
📅 Date: June 22, 2026
⏰ Time: 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM
As an added bonus, we’ll be meeting at Illinois’ oldest continuously operating tavern/restaurant, established in 1847—making it a pretty perfect spot to celebrate a milestone like this!
Hope to see you there for some early patriotic fun and geocaching conversation!
