This geocache, Last Farm Standing, was placed at a small historical site along Route 11 in Hogestown, PA. The site commemorates Thomas McCormick, a farmer who owned most of the land in that area in the late 18th century. This is another of those small historically significant locations and monuments that thousands of people drive past every day and have probably never noticed. If not for geocaching, I would never have heard the story of Thomas McCormick, nor seen the beautiful plauqe and monument that rests where his farmhouse once did over 200 years ago.
