Historic Bucktoe Cemetery Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

This cache is placed to commemorate a fascinating local Chester County historic site. The Bucktoe Cemetery was established in 1813 by the New Garden Memorial UAME Church. At least eight African-American Civil War veterans are burried in the cemetery. Long abandoned and overgrown, the cemetery is now in the process of being uncovered and restored.

The cache itself is well clear of the Cemetery so that cachers won't run the risk of disturbing the historic site. While you are here by all means visit the cemetery, which is open to the public from dawn to dusk. 

The cache is about 50 yards East of the cemetery along Bucktoe road. It is in a fairly obvious cache location, just be careful when searching. 

The cache is a small camo bottle with room for travel bugs, travel coins, small tradeables and a log. Bring your own pen. 

The original stash includes a travel bug, Disney trading pins, holy medals and a Kennedy half-dollar. 

Congratulations to SquirtGun on the First to Find! Also, thanks to ExMuggleDCC for the suggestion that the safety parking is across the street in the "Hills of Hartefeld" subdivision on Captain Robinson road. This road can be dangerous so exercise caution when looking for the cache!
