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.

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.
