Geocache Description:



WELCOME TO THE HANCOCK MUSEUM


The Hancock Historical Society was incorporated in 1980 and the Hancock Museum opened one year later. It displays artifacts from all facets of town history including a large genealogy file, business memorabilia, newspaper clippings, photographs and more.

Displays are changed throughout the year with special attention given to area residents who have served in our military, school and teacher displays, and a vast collection of orchard items. A Christmas Open House is held in November with a display of antique Christmas cards from local familities dating back several generations.

Revolving exhibits such as pictures of the area's WWI soldiers are on display from April through June on the second and the fourth Sunday from 2-4 pm. The museum contains a library of yearbooks and thousands of pieces of genealogy fully catalogued and referenced. It houses a locally made Faith Wilkerson buggy bought by the historical society and a Wilkerson sleigh donated by Keith Kirk and Linn Hendershot. Renovations of both were paid for by the Hancock Lions Club. Those interested in learning more are welcome to visit or call to schedule an appointment.

Groups are more than welcome. To schedule an appointment please call 301-678-6308.

This cache, embellished to blend into its niche, is a small regular with room for trade items. Please replace as found, for this is a very public area. We request Daylight Caching Only.

THE TOWN OF HANCOCK THANKS YOU.
