Geocache Description:


Cache is a geen ammo can outside historic Drover's Inn near Wellsburg, W.V. Contains various swag, notebook and a First-to-Find Prize of winning PA scratch-off lottery tickets!

Built in 1848 by John Fowler, THE DROVER'S INN required three years for skilled craftsmen to construct the three-story, sixteen-room edifice. The Dining room once housed a general store and the Fowlerstown Post Office. In the 1880's a drug store was added to the general store. These have been recreated at Meadowcroft Village near Avella, Pennsylvania.

In early 1850 Mr. Fowler opened the Inn to travelers and drovers, moving their stock across the toll pike.

At Drover's Inn they could obtain lodgings and food for themselves, and pasture for thier livestock.

Fowlerstown, named for Mr. Fowler, was originally comprised of a grist mill, shoe shop, buggy and harness shop.

The Inn's current owner, Mark Copper, gave permission to locate the cache on the property.

Pay special attention to muggles, as there is a restaurant on site. Cache isn't obvious, but not too difficult to find either.
