Geocache Description:

The cache location is just south of Haynesville, Louisiana.

Old Town Cemetery


Haynesville was settled in 1818. The community took the name "Haynesville" in 1843 from farmer Samuel Haynes of Georgia, who established Old Haynesville some two miles south of the present site of the town. Essentially, this cemetery is the last remnant of the old town. In 1898, the whole town moved north to meet the railroad, now the Louisiana and Northwest Railroad. My great grandfather was the brother of Samuel Haynes. The family story goes that they both brought their families across on a wagon train from Georgia to settle in the Louisiana Purchase. Samuel stopped here and his brother continued on to a place near what is Hope, Arkansas now.

The cache container is a baby soda bottle. There is no need to cross any fences. Please be respectful of the area and the residents in general.

The contents is only the log. Be sure to bring a pen or pencil.

There could be muggles. Use Stealth.
