This is a Multi-cache that I’ve thought about doing for years.
Only problem is, I personally don’t like Multi-caches but some do.
No puzzles or math to do. I’ve waypointed some “Jimmy” spots around
town simply for your enjoyment. Do as many or as little as you
want. “Have it your way”.
Stage One – the posted coordinates take you to the birth
place of James Maitland Stewart,
born May 20, 1908. You should find a placard commemorating the
place.
Stage Two – N 40 37.483, W 079 09.201 – AKA, 104 North
7th Street - This was the boyhood home of Jimmy, now a private
residence. Jimmy's family bought this home when he was 5 years old.
As you can see, Jimmy came from proud beginnings.
Stage Three – N 40 37.371, W 079 09.291 – “The Big
Warehouse” – The Stewart Family owned and operated a hardware store
at this location. One of Jimmy’s Oscars was once displayed here by
his father. There is a brand, spankin’ new historic plac
commemorating the store. Be sure to look for this plac.
Stage Four – N 40 37.390, W 079 09.341 – Almost directly
across the street from stage three, you will find the
Jimmy Stewart
Museum. People come from all over the world to visit here.
There is an impressive collection of Jimmy Stewart memorabilia here
including his movies.
Stage Five – N 40 37.205, W 079 09.072 – Here is located
the remains of the Stewart Hardware. You may remember seeing this
in the picture on the historic plac back at stage three.
Stage Six – N 40 38.305, W 079 09.955 – Final hiding
spot. Nothing historic about this spot. Just a spot close to town
were I could hide a 50 cal ammo box.
This concludes the Jimmy Stewart tour. Hope you have enjoyed
yourself!
