Ok, my bad, but Cataraqui Cemetary is a wonderful place to take a stroll
and
see a bit of history.
I suppose you could reference a website to answer questions about the
cemetary and then place the cache in a park not too far away.
I do notice that Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area has no caches, I
have no problem dealing with the CA in Brockville, just keep the cache
within one or two steps of the trail.
