CluesThis box is alive and well as of (11/26/04). I have moved the box only a few feet to a new hiding spot. The clues have been updated...
Built in 1931, this adaptation of the town hall in Hoorn, the Netherlands, commemorates the 300th anniversary of the first European settlement in Delaware. Delaware's roots lie in its Dutch connection. The state's first European colony began in the spring of 1631 as a fort established along present-day Lewes-Rehoboth canal by the Dutch West India Company. Twenty-eight men were sent to organize a whaling station, grow tobacco and engage in fur trade with the Native Americans. Although the ill-fated colony lasted less than three years, the Dutch resettled it in 1658. The British took possession of the area in 1664 and it remained under British colonial rule until America declared Independence. The Stathius is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sunday from 1:30 P.M. to 4:30 p.m. It houses permanent and changing displays and exhibits, including the Cape Henlopen Story, the H.M.S. DeBraak, and the material culture of the surrounding area. Admission is free, however, donations are greatly appreciated. Your search starts at the Valley of the Swans. Locate the circle of bricks. From the circle turn and face the brick wall; FROM 175d behind the holly bush is a stack of cinder blocks. Look in the cinder block to find this box wrapped in burlap.
