Geocache Description:

Micros in two interesting spots in Brownsville

Geocachers of West Tennessee

I originally was planning on making two separate hides out of this cache, but they are a mere 0.3 miles apart, so multi it is!

The first stop is an unusual 80 foot tall, work-in-progress steel sculpture called the Mindfield. It is the creation of local artist Billy Tripp. This thing is like nothing you have ever seen! For extra points, tell me the only plastic parts of the sculpture (look up high!). You do not have to cross the fence to obtain this cache! To learn more about this interesting piece of work, see the link here...

The coordinates at the first stop tell you exactly where, but the second stage is at an area of Brownsville known as College Hill. Pay attention to the beautiful old houses up and down College Street. College Hill Center was originally built in 1851 as the Baptist Female College. College Center houses the Felsenthal Lincoln Collection, owned by Morton Felsenthal and his father. The lifetime collection contains many books, pictures, documents and artifacts of Abraham Lincoln’s life, including presidential signed documents, campaign tokens and letters from his early law career, political life and Civil War years in the White House. The Haywood County Museum is also housed in the center, with artifacts and documents that trace the history of the town from Native American occupation to present day. The Haywood County Sports Museum, within the same complex, honors teams and individuals from Brownsville who have achieved local, state and national recognition. Further information about the College Center and the museum collections can be obtained by calling (731) 772-4883.

At the request of a local firefighter, DO NOT PARK ON THE STREET BY STAGE 2!!! There is plenty of marked parking nearby. Thanks, and happy hunting!
