Geocache Description:

April 14, 2015 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. at Pioneer Woman Museum in Ponca City OK

As geocachers most of us like the cemetery caches.  We've seen various monuments and wondered why they looked like that.  Now we can find out the answers.  The  Pioneer Woman Museum had generously agreed to host this seminar for geocachers and is open to the public also.

Gravestones and cemeteries are rich in a language of symbols. Those symbols can be difficult to interpret because of changes in meaning over time. By examining the grave markers one can learn more than just the person's name. This class will provide the skills necessary to investigate the past through tombstones. Luann Sewell Waters is the State Coordinator of the Oklahoma Leopold Education Project and a Conservation & History Educator.  She teaches 6 weeks classes on this subject at OU and OSU. is a conservation and environment educator with over 25 years experience teaching in workshops and seminars across the United States.

I have attended her seminars and it is worth the time.  Registration is required. To register log "will attend" and contact the Pioneer Woman Museum staff at piown@okhistory.org or 580-765-6108.  Be sure to specify you are a geocacher.
