Geocache Description:


This cache is placed on the Nancy B. Diggs Nature Trail. While choosing a spot for the cache, we came upon an interesting fact we were unaware of. According to a sign along the trail, the last public hanging in New York State took place on the west side of school hill - in Mayville, NY. Joseph Damon was hung on May 15, 1835 with over 8,000 people witnessing it. The cache is an ammo can within about 100' of the sign. Enjoy the short walk and be sure to read the sign to find more details about the last public hanging in New York State.
