Historic Little Cedar Grove Baptist Church
Moved to a new spot because it was too close to a geocache that was recently placed, see new clues below
Difficulty: Suitable for small children, just be watchful of the sharp drop off near the box
Walking Distance: A drive up
Mine was verified in place 10-31-05 (logbook replaced)
(Franzsolo's has gone missing)
Directions: See the directions for the Old Metamora Mill. (This box is on the way to Metamora)and is just past White's Farm (a very large place with a big sign). The church is also visible from the main road.
History: The Little Cedar Grove Baptist Church was built in 1812. This is the oldest church building still in it's original location in the state. The exterior walls show rifle openings used to defend it in wilder times. The interior has a balcony, fire pit and raised pulpit. The church is open for you to wander through and enjoy. A very old burial plot adjoins the church. Some internet research turned up the burial records which shows about 14 graves of mostly children. Don't miss the very old outhouse in back of the church, it's worth a peek inside to make you appreciate the plumbing you have. :-)
Clues: Park in front of the church by the split rail fence.
Walk through the "Turnstile" to the Baptist Church sign.
From the sign take a heading of 60 degrees for ten paces to a large concrete block.
Now count three more concrete blocks.
Standing on the fourth block look to the fence at 150 degrees. The treasure is under the rock.
The pews inside the church would be a good place to stamp in.
Let me know if you find it!
