Be at the main parking lot of the Morosini Reserve at 9:30AM Saturday, July 18 to seek out the NEW cache series. Bring along a tape measure and calculator. The wonderful WHERIGO feature is still available as well.
We’ll take a group photo at 9:30AM, and then the fun begins! Be ready to get your steps in for the day as you get to know this 183-acre treasure! There are 12 caches to tell you the story of this reserve. Can you find them all by 2PM?
For those that are new to the game, we'll have a "Geocaching 101" at 9:30am, immediately following the group photo!
Please keep in mind that the house at the end of the road is NOT part of the reserve.Please do not approach the house or residents. Additionally, please do not use the access trails coming onto the mowed trails around the fields from private homes.
There are no public facilities on the reserve, however there are a few fast food restaurants within 2 miles of the location.
BYO food/snacks & water, as there will be no picnic this year.
The Morosini Reserve has a rich history, first as a pass-through/hunting area for the regional Native Americans, then as active farmland from the early 1800s through the 1970s. It was part of the William Penn Charter, with the first warranty deed granted to a Revolutionary War soldier named Hugh Means. The McQuaide Family took possession in the late 1790s, where it remained until the 1920s. It then was known as the JJ Morosini Farm until JJ's nephew, Bill, decided that he would prefer that the land be protected rather than developed. His widow, Doris, contacted Westmoreland Conservancy and left us this beautiful land in her will. Within this 183-acre parcel there are remnants of an old stone quarry, an old coal mine, apple orchards, a pond constructed in the 1930s, OLD trees, and wonderful reminders of farm life. Enjoy the ghosts!
