Welcome to Nye Hill. Here lie the remains of Schoolhouse Number 3. This is a traditional lock n lock cache placed at the base of the headstone. Make sure you sign the log, as I will occasionally check it. No sign, no find.
Congratulations uncivilizedwhitelion for being the first to find (FTF)!

About the historical site:
The foundation of “Schoolhouse Number 3”, built by the town of Keene, New Hampshire, in 1774, remains intact on the grounds Nye Hill today.
Salmon P. Chase, who would later serve as a United States Senator, the Governor of Ohio, Secretary of the Treasury under President Abraham Lincoln and, finally, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, taught in Schoolhouse Number 3 for a short time in 1825.
Then fifteen years old and slight in stature, Chase was younger and smaller than at least a few of his pupils. Not long into his tenure at Schoolhouse Number 3, Chase’s attempts to instill some discipline in the student populace “aroused the ire of the older boys to such an extent that they carried him out and put him in the snow bank by the shed door.” No quitter, Chase, he returned to his post where, shortly, “…in an escalated scuffle he struck a boy named Ben on the head and buttocks with his ruler.” Ben’s father, it turned out, was a member of the local school committee and Chase was thereafter rather ignominiously dismissed.
