To find these letterboxes, follow the signs for car parking. Walk to the northeast end of the museum (behind the building) and start at the nature trails sign.
Box #1: Take a bearing of 60 degrees and follow the trail toward the log house. Follow the trail as it turns right at a bearing of 156 degrees and goes along the edge of the woods.
At the corner of the second log house, follow the trail into the woods at a bearing of 120 degrees. Cross the bridge and follow Trail #1 uphill. At the top of the hill you will come to a T. Stop here and spot a V-shaped tree in front of you.
At this V-shaped tree, take a bearing of 66 degrees and walk 4 steps to a very rotten stump. Inside the stump is Box #1.
Box #2: From the T, head downhill on the trail at a bearing of 170 degrees. When you reach the fork, continue walking straight (you will now be on Trail #2/#3) for approximately 10 steps. Now take a bearing of 236 degrees and go approximately 11 steps. What you seek is under the first LARGE mossy rock.
From Box #2, enjoy the trails or go back and left at the fork, following the signs to the museum.
Check back...we will be hiding more stamps at this location at some point in the near future!!!
Information about the museum from their website:
http://www.iroquoismuseum.org
The Iroquois Indian Museum is a truly unique cultural destination, strategically located just minutes from Howe Caverns. Our mission is to educate the public about Iroquois art, culture, and history. The Iroquois are those Native American people belonging to one or more of the Six Nations: Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora. Exhibits of both traditional and experimental Iroquois arts and historical and archeological collections, an inter-active hands-on Children's Iroquois Museum, a wide range of programs, tours, and special events, many of which can be geared to a group's specific needs, and a 45-acre Nature Park with three hiking trails, are all a part of the Museum's offerings. The Museum building is a work of art in itself, designed in the shape and spirit of the old longhouses that once graced the valleys of upstate New York, but constructed as a fully modern building.
ANNUAL EVENTS INCLUDE:
Two Iroquois festivals (Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend) feature Iroquois social dancing, storytelling, Iroquois foods, an all Iroquois art market featuring many of the premier Iroquois artists and craftspeople working today, children's activities, nature park walks, and much, much more!! Bring your archeological finds for identification by the Museum's Archeology Department, talk with our genealogy expert for advice on finding your Native American roots, see the newest exhibits in the Museum, see old friends and meet new ones at this fun filled weekend of art, education, and culture!
