Geocache Description:


This is the first in our new series and it has 2 signs at this location. UPDATE: There are no longer 2 signs just one. The Delany sign has been moved. Despite the title you should find this series full of learning opportunities. It will be about presidents, historic events (local and national), the Civil War and much more. We hope you enjoy this series. WARNING: Most of the caches in this series will be road side stops, use extreme caution. Some of these roads are very busy! All locations have a place to pull off. Please use extreme caution when doing this series! For this cache consider parking at the Sheetz.

Most of the signs in this series are part of the West Virginia Highway Historical Marker Program. The first signs were placed in 1937 to encourage tourism.

The Sign will read: Grave of Robert Rutherford, member of committee which in 1775 replied to orders of Lord Dunmore for Virginians to join British army or be held as rebels. This defiance was a gauntlet hurled at Dunmore's feet. (1 1/2 Mi. NE)
