The child and I spent a few hours on a couple of different days visiting various historical sites in Puyallup that were related to Ezra and Eliza Jane Meeker. We were following the "clues" to a virtual multi-cache. There was plenty to keep both of us interested in our journey, and we learned more about our city and its heritage.

Greetings Troy!
Bumped across your site as I was searching for a photo of Eliza Jane Meeker. I happen to belong to a historical costumed events group based in Seattle.
Somewhere in Time, Unlimited is going to have the Meeker Mansion host a "Tea" for us on October 26, 2008. Additionally, our group is going to do a murder mystery while the Tea is in session. If you and your child/family would be interested in hooking up with us for this event, we'd love to meet you!
To see our site, go to: www.CostumingInSeattle.com Look at the Calendar on the far left. You can email me directly.
All the best! Lady Victoria
