"National Make A Difference
Day"
October 27 is "National Make A Difference Day" and to help prepare
for the MN 150th Anniversary of Statehood, the geocache community
is invited to identify several locations within the Fort Snelling
National Historic District and surrounding area. Beginning at
Crosby Regional Park and then crossing the river over to the Fort
Snelling Historic District, geocachers will be given photographs
from the 1800s and 1900s with the challenge to find the location of
where the photo was taken. These coordinates will be used in
coming weeks to create photo caches locations which will be shared
with youth mentoring agencies and scout groups. In the cache will
be information about key people or events in history that took
place at that spot. Students may earn a patch related to the MN150
celebration and Historic Fort Snelling by completing this "photo
treasure hunt" during 2008 in addition to other history-related
activities. The patch activities are designed to help the community
"find the treasure" of Fort Snelling as part of our rich Minnesota
culture and heritage; it will also bring awareness to the need to
save the buildings and landscapes, and get families outside and
exercising. For more information on the caches and patch program
hosted by Northern Lights Athlete Village, contact 952-888-4311
