Cache was placed on Memorial Day 2003. Tours, museums, and artifacts depict the region's celery farming heritage at the Celery Flats interpretive center. In addition, the center features an 1856, one-room schoolhouse, a 1931 grain elevator, playground facilities, a picnic area, hiking trails, the Hayloft Theatre, and summer festivals such as Family Festival, Great Lakes Bluegrass Festival, and Michigan Shakespeare Festival. Hours: 8:00 a.m. until sunset.
Take the tour of the Celery Flats area using the coordinates below and gather clues along the way. I suggest going in the order that the clues appear below.
