Geocache Description:

This is located in Red Hill Cemetery in Hodgenville. You can enter the cemetary off of HWY 210. I would not suggest approaching this cache from HWY 31E. There is a log, BYOP. You are looking for a small camouflaged container.

The Red Hill Cemetery is located near the site where Robert Hodgen’s mill once stood and this old part of the cemetery seems to date back to the late 1830’s. The old original section is located on a hill with bright red clay soil. Thus, the burial ground took its name. The hill fosters a good growth of pine trees and is the final resting-place of many of Hodgenville’s early settlers. Together, the trees and the aging tombstones have seen a county born, while an old gristmill died. They have seen a small town grow and a way of life change for seven generations.

This cache is located near one of the oldest parts of the cemetery, if not THE oldest part of the cemetery. If you have time, take a moment to walk up onto the top of the hill and look at some of the tombstones and absorb the history of this place.
