This walking tour of the historical and natural sights of Millbrook has now been revamped. For those who completed the earlier Historic Millbrook Cache...this will be similar with a few changes and new final location. The walk will take you on a short tour of the town of Millbrook, including the mill pond, trails and the main street. Total length of walk is 2.4 km.
You have the coordinates for each individual stop. At each stop, you will have to answer questions about the location, which will give you missing numbers for the final cache location. Check out the buildings/monuments and keep an eye out for plaques!

When you find the final cache….near the “fork in the path”….you can either continue on the loop back to the Mill pond….or continue on the path to 4th Line (Note….the path to 4th line is not a loop!) The cache is a small container with log notes and some tradeables.
The mill pond area is a nice place to stop and take a break….maybe a picnic…or grab some snacks from some of the local establishments. Hope you enjoyed the tour of our little town!
