The eighth in a series of
Nanos hidden within a short walking distance of Downtown Newport,
the City by the Sea. I will try to bring you to scenic views, bits
of history, or just a plain cool location.
St. Mary's Church is the oldest Parish in the Diocese of
Providence. It was founded in 1828, and construction of the current
church was started in 1848. Father Woodley's pastorate, which
lasted three years starting in 1828, included Providence,
Pawtucket, Woonsocket, New Bedford, Fall River, Taunton, and the
entire state of Connecticut.
St. Mary's is probably best known as the site of Sen. John F.
Kennedy's and Jacqueline Lee Bouvier's wedding on September 12th,
1953.
Cache is a nano as expected. It is located across Spring Street
from the church. It can be reached from the sidewalk. Please use
stealth when retrieving and replacing the cache. I want to make
these easy, so please use the hint. Difficulty level is for the
high muggle activity.
Parking anywhere close will be extremely difficult in the summer
months. Please pay attention to all parking signs..we don't want
anyone getting a ticket.
So, come on and cache a little in America's First Resort.
