Geocache Description:

Stop and read the Texas Historical Marker along the road that tells about the Chisholm Trail and Buchanan.


Johnson County's second seat of government. (Wardville, just west of Nolan River, at U.S. 67, was first). Buchanan, named for president-elect of the United States, was founded in December 1856 on 60-acre townsite donated by John P. Bailey. A jail (first for the county) and office for the district clerk were built 1858. But lack of a reliable water supply hindered town's growth. Later resurvey of county lines showed necessity for a new site. In 1867, Camp Henderson (renamed Cleburne, July 4, 1867) was chosen. Cemetery is only remaining trace of Old Buchanan townsite.



You are looking for a bison container. Please sign/initial the log on 1 line only and re-roll the log sheet tightly and replace log in the cap - NOT in the bottom and then screw on the bottom firmly to keep out water.

Please watch out for MUGGLES and please rehide exactly as you found it so that cache will stay safe and that the next geocacher will have the same fun hunt.

Thanks!

Happy Hunting!
