Geocache Description:

A small cache in downtown Kerrville, Texas

This cache is located at the historic mansion residence of Captain Charles Schreiner; (1838-1927) who was a Texas Ranger, Confederate soldier, and a most enterprising businessman here in Kerrville.

Schreiners accomplishments in Kerrville included forays into banking, ranching, marketing wool and mohair wharehouseing, as well as being the proprietor of one of the most progressive merchandise stores in the southwest.

By 1900, Schreiner owned 600,000 acres of land.

Among his most philanthropic activities was the founding of Schreiner Institute (college).

Of course, by now, you've figured that the coordinates for this cache will lead you to the Schreiner Mansion (Museum) in downtown Kerrville, Texas. The museum inside is fabulous to visit. Call to check the hours if you want to visit. (830) 896-8633.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO GO INSIDE THE GATE, OR ONTO THE PROPERTY TO LOCATE THIS CACHE; but if and when you do discover it, you will enjoy another view of this splendid property, that I did not know existed until I placed this cache! PLEASE REPLACE EXACTLY AS FOUND! Many Thanks!

Please BYOP, as there was not room for one in the container.

After you "complete your mission" please take a few minutes to look around and appreciate the architectural beauty of this fabulous piece of Kerrville History. This must have been quite the showpiece in its day!

C-O-N-G-R-A-T-S! to "sphyg" who logged the FTF within hours after this cache was posted! He bagged the $2 bill FTF prize!

Happy Caching!
