One of the most historical spots in the northwest, a spot where once stood one of the principle villages of the Potawatomies in which a band of the former were entirely exterminated, a spot where Jean Nicolet first met the natives in 1634, the camping grounds of De Tone, LaSalle, Hennepin, St. Cosme, and many others, as well as the site where Jacques Vieau erected his first trading post in 1795 and where Father Marquette said his First Mass in this section on All Saints Day, November 1, 1674 - that was the spot marked on November 1, 1923, by the history class of Kewaunee High School with an appropriate marker on which was inscribed the following:
FATHER MARQUETTE
Served Holy Mass on This Spot
November 1, 1674
Erected by the History Class, K.H.S., 1923
This cache is placed in Honor of the site.
DO NOT GO IN THE SWAMP please walk around on the paved path.
There are rocks so be careful,
I do not believe this cache is accessible in the winter time.
Have fun!!
