Geocache Description:

The Vault Trail goes from the loop in front of the Great House to the road  leading to the Cliffs and the Grist Mill.  The trail forks and this one is on the left fork, closest to the Dining Hall. Trail distance is .4 of a mile.

This cache was placed with permission by the education director of Stratford Hall.

The cache is closer to the road than to the Great House Oval.  You might want to park close to the Dining Hall and/or the cabins rather than walking from the loop especially if the weather is really hot.  

Stratford Hall was the home of the Lees of Virginia.  Two of the sons were signers of the Declaration of Independence.  Robert E Lee was the grandson of this family and son of "Lighthorse Harry Lee".  The property consists of approximately 1,900 acres and has numerous trails, the restored home and a grist mill.  Spend the day visiting this historical site AND find a number of geocaches.  Some are on difficult trails and others are pretty easy to get to.  

If you wish to visit the grounds, there is an admission fee and if you chose to visit the house, it is slightly higher.  There are cabins which can be rented  and a restaurant on the property. SPECIAL NOTE;  JULY 4, 2016 THERE IS NO ADMISSION FEE FOR THE GROUNDS OR THE HOUSE.  Don't miss this opportunity.

PLACED WITH PERMISSION
