Geocache Description:

i've been thinking about some hides in Marshallville for a while now. some of these are hid at points of interest. some are sneaky. some are quick and easy. some are a combination of all those descriptions.

at this location you will find the marshallville historical society museum and grounds which includes the Raush blacksmith shop. the former site of the saint josephs catholic church and cemetery. a log cabin, complete with an outhouse. an old track driven field tiling machine used to install drainage line to help dry out farm fields. an old 1930 something chevrolet, marshallville fire truck. a saw mill, and several old farm implements. and in my opinion the most interesting of all and the reason i hid this cache, the truss leg bedstead bridge. built by the Canton bridge company in 1890. it originally crossed the east branch of the Red Run on Porr Road. the current bridge at this location has the cache "on top of the same stream" (gc27651). according to Mary Starks of the ohio department of transportation, central office in columbus ohio "it is the last remaining bridge of it's kind in ohio"

there's a lot of neat stuff to see here. please take a minute to look around. if you like what you see and would like to get a more in depth look, Marshallville historical days are the last friday evening and saturday of august. a grand parade is held at 11:00 am on saturday. this is an annual event. it also includes an antique car show, food vendors, historical tours, games, antique tractor pull, and historic demonstrations.

i originally wanted to hide this on the bridge, but had to move it over because it was to close to another hide i really wanted to have, that's why it is called second choice. while daylight hours are not a requirement at this site sensible hours would be a good thing, this is a small town after all. there is on street parking in front of the museum as well as the neighboring church. there is also a gravel lot behind the bank. please bring your own writing implement.
