Geocache Description:

Welcome to Thompson Cemetery in Delaware County, just outside Gaston, Indiana.

Founded in 1842, it's listed as a historic cemetery on Indiana's Cemetery and Burial Grounds Registry.  For a cemetery this large, it's surprising how little information could be found on it. (I was also surprised there was no cache here already!) There are a number of interesting markers, so take some time to wander around. 

As you leave, you'll see this quote on a large white sign: "This is more than a cemetery. It is a monument to the multitude of nation builders who swept away the forests and left their remains in silent watch over the empire they founded."

Cache is a small container, big enough for a log and small trackables. Bring your own pen. Please replace cammo. The hours for Thompson Cemetery are posted as dawn to dusk, so no nightcaching, please.
