Geocache Description:

I noticed this new landmark along Highway 25 as I traveled back to Starkville. Check it out.


In modern usage, a landmark includes anything that is easily recognizable, such as a monument, building, or other structure. In American English it is the main term used to designate places that might be of interest to tourists due to notable physical features or historical significance.

Bernard Coffindaffer spent approximately $3,000,000 planting the clusters of three Crosses in 29 states, District of Columbia, Zambia and The Philippines. Site owners donated the land's use for the Crosses and Coffindaffer paid all the bills. A total of 1864 clusters of crosses were erected.

Crosses Across America has big plans for expanding Coffindaffer’s original mission by installing new clusters of crosses every 50 miles on either side of some 45,000 miles of interstate highways and thoroughfares that crisscross North America. They also plan to install crosses at specific sites that seem to cry out for them, such as the lake in South Carolina where a mother drowned her two young sons, and the field in Pennsylvania where the 9/11 terrorists crashed an airliner killing everyone on board.
