Geocache Description:


This cache is hidden by the quilt square on the Appalachian Center at Carson-Newman College. Cache is a fairly large camoed lock-and-lock complete with swag. It is not far from the road so you can park beside the Appalachian Center.

The first heritage quilt square in Jefferson County was hung on the south side of the Appalachian Center at Carson-Newman College on January 15, 2008. This was the first large representative quilt square being mounted in Jefferson County as part of the Quilts in the Smokies project under the leadership of Brenda Sloan and Annette Loy.

The idea is to preserve and celebrate the history and culture of our area as preserved in quilt-square patterns from our region and to celebrate our Appalachian heritage and traditions. The Jefferson City Fire Department was there with their truck to help mount the quilt square.

The quilt square mounted on the Appalachian Center is based on a “School House” quilt made by Sarah Moore, a noted East Tennessee quilt maker from slave ancestry. The square celebrates the talents and contributions of local quilt makers and our educational heritage. (visit link)
