Geocache Description:

This is a custom cammied large ammo can located in Clinton, MS.

The town of Mt. Salus ("Mountain of Health") was formed in 1823, taking its name from the recently completed home of Governor Walter Leake that sat near a large, flowing spring. The town was known for miles around for its many springs, thought to have healing qualities. As the town grew, the name was eventually changed to Clinton (in 1837), after prominent New Yorker Dewitt Clinton. There are still a few active springs in the area, including one near this site. The city installed decorative brickwork around the spring many years ago. Update: note from Blue Canary... Actually the brick was there long before the bicentennial. I know it was there in 1965.

Note: Best to enter this area from Belmont Street, not Lawson St.
