Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Grant Park History Cache #1. This is a Puzzle cache and you will need to go for a short walk to unlock the clues of the cache.

This is an “Urban Cache” that I think many fellow geocachers will really enjoy. I’ve added a little local history puzzle that you must solve to UNLOCK the mystery of this geocache.

You will NOT need to go on any private property to find and solve the clues of this cache, ALL can be found from the sidewalks.

You will find the answers to these questions simply by taking a short walk from the cache and being observant of your environment.

1) What year was Grant Park established? (Remember the last digit)
2) What year was Saint Paul’s Church organized? (Remember the last digit)
3) What is the address of Col.Lemuel P Grant’s Mansion? (Remember the last digit)

Once inside the cache you will find the usual goodies, the LOG BOOK & Pen, AND some interesting Grant Park History (feel free to take a printout if you want one, I’ll restock as needed).

Enjoy!
