Geocache Description:


A camo'ed peanut butter jar in Holasek Hill Park, adjacent to Northwest Athletic Club.

You could pay big bucks for a membership to the nearby athletic club, and then never use it. Or, you could take up geocaching and get your exercise outside exploring the interesting area we live in.

This cache is a beginners cache, for people living near the Eden Prairie area. You will get a taste of what a typical geocache is like. There are no trails thru the woods here, but the ground is leaf covered and there is no scrub vegetation to deal with so its easy to pick your own trail.

HOLASEK HOUSE

This Chaska brick farmhouse has been places. It was erected around 1882 near the site of the Northwest Health Club at Baker Road and the Crosstown Highway by one of Eden Prairie’s more prominent Czech farm families, the Holasek family. In the 1970’s the house was refitted to be the headquarters Arteka, a landscaping company then operated by Jerry and Ron Bailey.

About 1986 Arteka moved the house to a new site nearby in Minnetonka. But Arteka’s bustling business demanded larger headquarters. Holasek House was donated to the City of Eden Prairie and moved to a site just off of Indian Chief Road in the Eden Wood section of Birch Island Park. Holasek House is currently used as a residence for Friendship Ventures’ Eden Wood staff.
