Geocache Description:

Welcome to Historic Shiloh Cemetery. Remnants of the past are being carefully and respectfully reclaimed here through the efforts of many in the community, including the geocachers in Middle Georgia.


This multi-cache will take you on a short walk through the property trails (there is no need to bushwhack). Information at each stage along the way will lead you to a small container at the final location. Cache is placed with the permission of the cemetery caretakers - they love to meet geocachers and chat about the history of this area!
