Geocache Description:


This is a series of Geocaches named "Will I Find in Williford". All of the caches in this series were placed by various members of the Baird family, which was one of the first families to homestead in the town of Williford.
Almost all of the Bairds have now left Williford, but love to return for visits. Many members of our family are avid geocachers, and thought it would be fun to introduce caches into this area to invite others to experience the quiet peacefulness of small town life. These caches are, for
the most part, park and grabs to enable you to complete the series in one day while touring our small town. Our plan is to place more caches in this series with each visit we make to Williford- so be sure to put this series on your watchlist!

History & History Related Items

Williford history:

Williford was formed from land owned by William Amborse Williford. The town was then named for him. Williford is in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains and lies along the Spring River. Settlers came and built their homes on both
sides of the river and by 1870, the area had over 275 residents. The railroad came to town on 1 October 1833, bringing with it business and success. But when the Great Depression of the 1930¹s came along, Williford suffered from its effects. The quarry closed because it had no where to market the product. The bank closed as many did during that time. A major fire in 1929 destroyed many businesses and with the depression, they were never able to fully recover. Though business never really recovered, the
area remains a beautiful and peaceful are in which to live.

Williford attractions:

Williford, Arkansas is one of the smallest towns in Arkansas, yet has a mayor, city council, water system, library, four-truck fire department, and a school system of almost 300 students. The town is located on the Spring
River in a pretty valley. Many of its residents are elderly. The town itself experiences a very low crime rate although it has no police department. Taxes and property costs are low. It is a quiet place to live in a rural
setting with abundant fishing and hunting resources in the area. There are also areas for camping, canoeing and other outdoor recreation.(info from (visit link)
