Geocache Description:


When I moved to Western Iowa several months ago from Central Iowa, I discovered I knew little about the beauty and history of the area. So, I decided to set up a series of caches for travelers, and Iowans, that will take them to some of these beautiful places in Western Iowa. This is my third cache. It is in the small Danish village of Kimballton. Enjoy the beautiful views of rolling hills and fertile cropland. Kimballton is named for a local druggist and there are lots of things to see in the Kimballton area. You will find one of them near the site of the cache. (Hint: This is a beautiful, historic, literary, reproduction of a Scandinavian symbol with a connection to Tom Hanks, Walt Disney, and Charlie. It is here during the summer but in a window downtown during the winter.) Spend a few minutes and enjoy the Danish ethnic heritage that still lingers in the community. Several buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places. Enjoy the National Register Historic District, Mural of History on Main Street, antique shops and charm of this Danish village. Visit the historic Danish Village Church and Dania Garden on Main Street. Kimballton is also one of the proud Danish Villages which feature the Danish Immigrant Museum and the imported Danish Windmill in Elk Horn. (BTW, check out the cache in Elk Horn, too!) This is a theme cache celebrating Danish heritage. Original contents: Danish/American flag patch, Denmark ruler,Danish/American flag pin, Danish Power magnet, Danes have more fun magnet, Danish Windmill keychain, and a Danish troll. Don’t worry if you don’t have anything Danish to trade. Just take what you want and leave what you have. But, please try to keep the quality of items in the cache high. This is an easy walk (about 50 feet) on concrete sidewalk and should only take a few minutes to find.Thanks! Happy Caching!
