This cache is cross listed from the TerraCache, created on 12/31/2008
The coordinates will take you to a monument to William Henry Patterson sitting astride a huge horse in Hills and Dales Park in the Oakwood/Kettering area.
There is a parking area near the monument.
Wheelchair access may be limited due to stairs.
Look for a paragraph about Patterson at the base of the monument.
TO CLAIM THIS CACHE
There are TWO (2) Logging Requirements as follows
1.) Photo: Take a photo of yourself or your GPSr with the monument and upload it onto your online Found It log.
2.) Log Passord: In all CAPS, the 5th word in the 3rd line down of the paragraph at the base of the monument.
. . . . . . . The Log Password is 5 letters long.
The Log Password is required in order to submit your online Found It.
There are 4 other figures to the left and right of Patterson and his horse.
Can you identify the 4 figures?
One of them is NOT the figure who appears on the obverse of a U.S. dime, but does resemble him/her.
(This is not needed to claim the cache, but would be something very interesting to learn about.)
History of Hills and Dales Park
John Henry Patterson (1844 - 1922), chairman of National Cash Register Company, believed that education and outdoor exercise were the pillars of good health for not only himself, but also his employees. He began a relationship with the Olmsted Brothers in 1894 after developing a strong appreciation for their “natural school” of landscaping gardening.
Hills & Dales Park must have been a novel experience for most Daytonians when it opened in 1907. With its carefully designed meadows, water and woods, it was meant to recreate in gardens the perfection found in nature. It was intended to provide a place for city dwellers to conveniently enjoy beautiful natural scenery and obtain relief from the nervous strain of urban life.
In its early days, park goers could take a short ride from the city and be immersed in nature. They strolled walking paths on foot or horse. They picked blackberries, wild strawberries, May apples, walnuts and hickory nuts and ate them on the grounds. They lingered near wading pools and picnicked in Adirondack camps.
Since then, the original character of the site has been transformed by years of vegetation growth and the addition of new park features, including a Patterson memorial and a golf course in what was once a series of open meadows and a Polo course.
The park became a MetroPark in 1999
