This cache at Kingwood Memorial Park lands us in front of a historical marker. When the War for Independence left the new government with debts to pay, the sale of Ohio land helped to finance that loan repayment. Vast acres purchased by land speculators have trickled down to the one-home lots we see today. We learn that Williamsville was laid out here two centuries ago, on acreage purchased by Anson Williams. He hoped his town would endure, but it did not. Thus ended his turn in the game of Ohio country Monopoly.
On this particular game square, a park flowing in trees and sunshine has not been bought out.
Here in a gently flowering space, each name finds a place to rest. We move quietly.

We do not miss the signs of hope which comfort those who mourn here.
OH Love Of Geocaching
