This cache is part of a nationwide geocaching series called "Cache to Eagle" that showcases these special contributions. This particular project was the work of James M. of Troop 7 in Port Washington. A Flower Hill resident, he organized the cleanup of the Flower Hill Cemetery as his Eagle Scout project bringing 40 people to the Revolutionary War era cemetery on April 10th, 2010. Fellow Scouts and Adult Leaders from Port Washington’s Troop 7 raked leaves, removed deadfall branches and cleared ivy which was choking the gravesite. A forgotten piece of history hidden in the Port Washington Country Club section of Flower Hill, the project has sparked interest by Flower Hill’s Mayor Charles W. Weiss and the Board of Trustees in working toward having the Cemetery listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Councilman Fred Pollack said, “It is impossible to plan for the future without having an appreciation and respect for our past. James and his fellow Scouts have good reason to be proud of their work.”
