First of all the coordinates given above are NOT for Wilson’s Home. This is a virtual multi-stop cache located in the Victorian Town of Wellsboro, Pa. This is a very easy cache for all ages.
The object is to find Wilson’s Home (in a round about way). It is such an interesting sandstone home that I am sure you will be awe inspired, as this is no ordinary abode. History shows that Mr. Wilson was an Irish immigrant born in a log cabin in 1821. He studied law and had a practice in Wellsboro, Pa. He served as a member of the Pennsylvania State Senate and was a member of the U. S. House of Representatives. He was very active in politics and in 1864 was a delegate at the Republican National Convention that nominated Abraham Lincoln for President. Now let’s find his home - it will be worth it - I guarantee! And along the way, we’ll honor some noted residents of the area.
