Welcome to Epperson Park
Williston was incorporated as a town in 1897: chartered as a city in 1929.
On October 10,1914 this area was designated as a public park by the mayor and town council in a deed from JB and PA Epperson.
An electrical distribution system was purchased for $33,300 on June 11,1923 from the Williston Manufacturing Company. Included was the generator, ice tank, one ten year old bay horse named Charlie and a wagon with harness.
This generator was used seven years to produce electricity and had a capacity of 100 kilowatts.
The howitzer, 8 inch, M-2 cannon was secured by the city from the Anniston Alabama Army Depot on April 30,1975.
Next to the plaque describing the this park is another plaque of historical interest. It is in memory of Martin Luther King Jr., placed by The Friendly Choir Union.
For any kids that may be with you, on the south side of the park, there is a merry-go-round, swings, skate board activity area, basketball, benches, and picnic tables, all in this well shaded park.
1/4/5. Because of muggles it is now a 4 stage.
Muggle activity is highest when school is out and on weekends.<<p>
Your entire search is located in the Epperson Park
3/19/5. I will be moving in about 3 weeks. After that time when the cache disappears it will be archived.
At the event today I was told this cache was way more difficut than a 2. The concensus of opinion was it should be a 5 level.
The 1st stage continues to get muggled. I have removed both stage 1 and 2. The coords will put you at the new stage 1. Only 2 stages now. If you forgot to reread this page you would have had a 3 stage search. I left a 35mm canister at the old stage 1 which now would take you to the new stage 1.
7/20/5 I added a clue which reduced the difficulty level.
3/7/7 I stopped by today to check on the cache and I found the park needs better care. Vandals have tipped over the wall with the tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr..
2/27/08. King's plaque is now missing and the wall still hasn't been fixed. The maintenance man was mowing while I was there and didn't remove any trash, limbs, etc. He just mowed everything into smaller parts. What a disgrace. I also replaced the log at stage two. I was slightly damp but the baggie was good.
1/26/09. The cache has now been changed to a single stage and the name was changed also.
