Thirty caches are located in five different regions throughout NC. Instructions for sending the documentation are in the passport. Once all five regions are completed, you have earned a special NC Civil War trackable geocoin. Mail the passport to the address inside the passport – then your passport will be returned with your unique coin.
Most of the containers are the same - camouflaged 6 inch PVC tubes - at this time this is a small lock-n-lock - the code word you need for your passport is inside the container on a laminated card and also taped on the container that holds the log sheet. Date your logbook and add your code word in the numbered area for the cache. As the containers may become over tightened, carry a TOTT to ease the opening process.
Passports will be available at the event, some Civil War Museums in NC, and via mail if you send me you address or you can download your passport here.
The Cottage
On July 16, 1857, Stonewall Jackson married Mary Anna Morrison at “Cottage Home,” the Lincoln County home of the Morrison family. The two were introduced by Mary’s sister, Isabella, who was married to Major D. H. Hill of the faculty of Washington College, also in Lexington, Virginia. She was the daughter of the Reverend Robert Hall Morrison, a Presbyterian minister and one of the founders of Davidson College. The couple was separated by the Civil War in 1861. Jackson had taken little part in the public dispute preceding the war and described the conflict as the “sum of all evils”. Nonetheless, he responded to his order to Richmond and went on to become one of the best known generals to serve the Confederacy.
