Geocache Description:


The town is also not named for Henry David Thoreau, the transcendentalist author, though this is a common misconception. A history of the town was compiled by local author Roxanne Trout Heath in her book "Thoreau, where the trails cross!" published in 1982. he Native American culture and history is strong in Thoreau. The Navajo Nation operates a Chapter House here, and many Navajo (or Diné) residents speak their native language. Thoreau is a local trading center for artisans including rug weaving, sandpainting, silversmithing, potterymaking, and turquoise jewelry making. Anasazi archaeological sites connecting with Chaco Canyon can be found in and around the town.
