Geocache Description:

Magnetic key holder, bring your own pen or pencil to sign the micro log. Parking available just a few feet from the cache. You are not required to enter the museum to find the cache. An easy quick grab, but take a look at the museum if you have the time.

Located on the grounds of the Amory Regional Museum which is housed in the old Gilmore Sanitarium (hospital) circa 1916. Entry to the museum is free, the hours are: Tuesday through Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday & Sunday 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Amory was established as a railroad town, which caused the demise of the nearby town of Cotton Gin Port. The area was first visited by the French explorer Bienville in 1736, who built a small fort and fought the local Chickasaw nation. He soon returned to Mobile and left the area to the encroaching British. Americans first settled the area in 1808.
