Geocache Description:


NO NIGHT CACHING PLEASE!!

This is our first cache with many to follow .....

This cache is part of our Rainbow series of caches. The theme of this cache is anything GREEN. Please trade only GREEN items if possible.

The cache is located in Laona, NY. In the 1800's, Laona's main occupation was Leather Tanning. In addition, Laona has been an area of importance to Spiritualist groups since the mid-19th century. Spiritualism began there in the winter of 1844-45 and over the next several years, a number of mediums converged there. The Laona Free Association organized soon after 1850 and the First Spiritualist Society of Laona was formed in 1855. Another organization based there was the Laona Free Thinkers Association who founded Lily Dale, a major Spiritualist community in the area.

The American composer Alan Hovhaness visited Laona and composed two works inspired by the hamlet: Laona (for piano) and Dawn at Laona, Op. 153 (cantata for low voice and piano).

The cache is a small brown tupperware container. There is a log book and small trade items, including a FTF item. Please place the cache back exactly as you found it. This Cemetary is maintained by the Town of Pomfret Highway department and the Supervisor has granted permission for this cache. Please be respectful of the surroundings.
