Geocache Description:


The Washington County GeoTrail

WCG - Rural Heritage Museum



The Washington County GeoTrail (WCG) launched on Saturday, September 14, 2013. The Trail consists of over thirty-five (35) geocaches placed at points of interest all over the County. Caches will be found in National, State, County and Town parks as well as at museums, wineries, historical sites and places of natural beauty. A trackable geocoin was awarded to the first 500 geocachers who completed the Washington County Geotrail. The original allotment of Coins has been exhausted and new parameters to receive the updated Coin are below.

 To be eligible for the coin, GeoCachers may download the Washington County GeoTrail passport online at www.visitHAGERSTOWN.com or pick one up in person at the Visitor Welcome Center at 6 N. Potomac Street. Completed passports may be verified on site at the above address or by mail.

Please note the following Change. Washington County GeoCoins will be available for purchase at the Visitor Welcome Center for GeoCachers who log 20 or more caches on the Washington County GeoTrail. The cost of the GeoCoin will be $10. An additional $3.50 shipping charge will apply for passports redeemed by mail. For more information about geocaching in Washington County and the full complement of local amenities, the above links are your gateway to historically beautiful Washington County!

Participating in the WCG geotrail is fun and we hope that many people join in. However, it is not a requirement for logging your find on this cache once you find the container.
WCG – Rural Heritage Museum


Welcome back to a time when the pace was a bit slower and life centered around the farm, family and community. At the Washington County Rural Heritage Museum you will learn about our regions’ beginnings and history, and how our rural and agricultural heritage continue to play a role in Washington County today.

Located at the Agricultural Education Center in Boonsboro, Maryland, the Rural Heritage Museum is open Saturdays and Sundays, 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm and available for group and school tours by appointment on both weekdays and weekends. Please call in advance for group appointments.

There is no admission charge, but donations are gratefully accepted.

You are invited to take a look around the outdoor and then visit the indoors museums should they be open when you are present. . It’s just a short drive to an earlier time (excerpted from www.ruralheritage museum.org).

Museum hours are 1 - 4 PM Saturdays and Sundays. Group and school tours are available by appointment both on weekdays and weekends (240-420-1714).

Access to the out-of-doors museum area is year round. Access is dawn to dusk. There is ample parking.

The cache you seek is a small lock n lock contained in a larger vessel.

The Washington County GeoTrail wishes to Thank the Hagerstown Washington County Convention and Visitors Bureau for their timely and continuing assistance with this Washington County adventure.

The WCG also wishes to thank the following geocachers who spent countless hours in planning and deploying the caches – ALs Guide, Always Lost 00, Kitakima, LPYankeefan, nomaland, Snurt, tazscouter, and tiger77aam.
