"The Village of Welcome, geographically located in the center of Martin County was incorporated in 1890. Origionally known as Lily Creek for the creek that still flows to the north, the name was later changed to Welcome in honor of Alfred M. Welcome, an Englishman who homesteaded in Manyaska Township after the Civil War." From the Village website.
I was in the area caching with friends, when we realized that Welcome didn't have any caches. This needed to change, and since I have extended family nearby who is willing to pop over if needed, here we are!
