Wooden Stone Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Geo Bana: After the last log I checked on this cache today & it is indeed missing. I was alarmed at how much destruction was done to the area of the cache, and since I am no longer living in the area as of 2016 I have decided to archive this cache. It is a very interesting building, but I would hate to see any more damage done here. I also noticed that the door above the steps was busted at some point.

I am sad to imagine that the possibility of my placing a cache here has caused this damage, as that was not my intent at all. Hopefully people will continue to read about the unique history here without disturbing the building itself.

It was a good run.

Geocache Description:

I thought this would be a pretty easy micro, but since the first three tries were DNFs I bumped it up to a 2. Bring your own scribble stick.

This historic building was built in 1850 and was used for its intended purpose until 1955. In 1979 it was condemned by the township. However, it was saved from demolition by a group of concerned citizens who were deeded the property in 1983. They formed a Historical Association which spent years raising money to restore the building and finished their project in 1989. The Association has maintained it in its original condition. However, since the windows are boarded up you will need to schedule a tour of the inside through the Association.

As with all caches, please hide as well as, or better than, you found it. Happy caching!

***UPDATE --- 10/19/2015***
Cache container was replaced with a new one, and a new log in a new baggie. Thanks for the DNFs folks, they keep me checking to make sure the cache is there & in good shape!
