This cache is on the location of the former farm of Stephen Osborn of Nelson. He came to the area in the early 1800s. A short distance downhill from here near Bailey Brook is the site of sawmill, built around 1815. The cache is near what was the foundation of the main house. The cache is not in the foundation. There is a well near the cache, covered with grating, and other foundations nearby. Please watch your little ones in this area. The cache is a small lock & lock.
This land is managed by the Harris Center in Hancock, and the cache placed with their permission.
