Stumbled upon this place while looking for spots to hide caches.
I never knew that Rusk had a college. This cache will take you to
Butler Park, it is a wonderful place to sit and have a picnic or
take photos on the numerous steps that lead up the hill.
Site of Rusk College, South Main Street, in front of city
park
After efforts to relocate a Methodist school to Rusk fell through,
the community convinced the Cherokee Baptist Association to
establish a school on 12.2 acres donated by local resident
Georgiana Bonner. Chartered in 1894, the East Texas Baptist
Institute was housed in a grand 3-story structure and offered
classes from first grade through junior college. Renamed Rusk
Academy of Industrial Arts in 1907 and Rusk College in 1919, the
six-building campus was closed in 1928. In 1937 the main building
was razed and its cornerstone later put on display at the First
Baptist Church.
You are looking for a micro cache with a log, but no writing
utensil, so BYO.
