History comes alive at this cache. As you search for the geocache you may find a family in their 1870 home with children playing on the lawn, or a Civil War Hospital or an Indian settlement. Watch out for "Cora" our friendly ghost.
This series of geocaches was placed to highlight the Treasures Hidden in Florida’s Suwannee River Valley. It seems fitting to us to create a treasure map for the place traversed by one of America’s first treasure hunters, Hernando DeSoto, a Spanish explorer who forged the DeSoto Trail through the region in 1532. North Florida is rich with Spanish, Native American, Civil War and “cracker” heritage. There are off-beat and old-fashioned towns to explore where you can still savor a slice of life from bygone days. This region is also home to the largest collection of natural springs in the world, wonderfully quiet recreational rivers and trails, and world-class flora and fauna.
Background: Housed in the 1870 home of the first Clerk of Courts for Columbia County, the museum includes a permanent exhibit gallery of Columbia County and North Florida photography, a room devoted to the history of the Civil War in North Florida, and a small library of North Florida history. In addition, the museum exhibits collections both historical and art from local and state contributors. The museum is located in the downtown historic district around Lake Isabella. Open to Public Wednesday 2:00 pm – 5:00pm and Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
