We decided to do a series called "Trekking Through Lawrence". There isn't many Caches in this area and we wanted to bring Cachers here to see some of the beautiful areas and just random spots in Lawrence County, KY. #10 in this series is the Oil Well Exhibit
(A Geocacher is always prepared).
Adams Cabin, located in the Project's Information Center, was built in the mid-nineteenth century. It was originally located on a Blaine Creek farmstead of several hundred acres with a household of eleven people. When the lake was being constructed, the house was documented and removed. A Wicket Dam Exhibit is located in the Project's Information Center. From 1875 until the turn of the century, the Corps of Engineers constructed a series of 53 wicket dams to canalize the Ohio River to meet the demands of year-round navigation beginning at Davis Island near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and traveling the length of the river to Cairo, Illinois. The exhibit depicts this process. An Oil Well Exhibit is located adjacent to the Project Office/Information Center parking lot. The oil well equipment was pulled from an oil field at Little Blaine Creek before the water from the lake covered the site. The exhibit depicts the common method of oil production at the turn of the century.
We Hope You Enjoy Our "Trekking Through Lawrence" Series, and as always Happy Caching Everyone.
Congrats AbeandSarah on the FTF :-)
