The Pinebluff Cemetery is a beautiful little cemetery that is rich in history and is the resting place of many who enjoyed most of their lives living here in this small close-knit community nestled in the Sandhills of North Carolina.
There are several generations of families laid to rest here, whose roots were right here in Pinebluff, some of which helped establish this community back in 1884. You may note the headstones of the Packards nearby the cache - Levi and his son, Levi Jr. - who were instrumental in the early development of the town. He and his son built some of the earliest houses in Pinebluff, the oldest of which was built in 1892 and still stands today on East New England Avenue, between the blocks of Grape and Pear Streets, just a few blocks from the cemetery (large white house with red roof setback from the road).
The wife of Levi Sr. was a key figure in helping to build the Pinebluff Library - established in 1908, it is the oldest library in Moore County. Although the original library structure burned in 1970, it was rebuilt with almost identical decor and is still open today at the corner of Currant Street and East Baltimore Avenue, also a few blocks from the cemetery.
Many dear friends and several past generations of my relatives also rest here, and it may some day be my final resting place. This is a neat little cemetery, so please take some time to look around and note some of the markers and enjoy some of the history and heritage of this nice little community. This is a beautiful area, and the town works hard to keep the cemetery looking its best. Remember, please show care and respect while visiting this resting place.
Despite this being a small town community, the cemetery is visited quite often, so please be aware of muggles about at times. It is nestled in a back corner of the town and surrounded by trees (used to be almost completely surrounded until recent clearing for expansion of the cemetery) so you're not likely to be seen by someone who is not in the cemetery. You'll know if a visitor or visitors are around when you arrive at the cemetery and also be able to see if one is approaching. Best to seek this cache if no one is around, but if you must while someone is there, please use stealth.
You are looking for a small camo'd lock & lock container, log included, but bring your own writing tool. The cache container is big enough to accommodate small trade items and/or small trackables. There is a geocoin for FTF to pass on.
