This Wherigo cache will bring you to The Trail of Twelve Stones within the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial. Parking coordinates are provided, and the posted coordinates will bring you to the first stone on the trail. You will need to hike the entire trail (approximately a mile or so round-trip from parking) to complete the cartridge.
The Trail of Twelve Stones connects the homesite of Abraham Lincoln's youth with the pioneer cemetery where his mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln, is buried. The stones were obtained and placed by the Indiana Lincoln Union in 1933. Beginning just east of the Cabin Site Memorial on the Thomas Lincoln Farm, the stones are arranged in chronological order at irregular intervals along the trail. They commemorate major events in Lincoln's life and career. At each site along the trail, a small bronze tablet briefly explains the events associated with the memorial stone.
Once you have completed the Wherigo cartridge, you will be given final coordinates that will lead you outside the national park. You’ll be searching for a pill fob in a typical spot. Be safe and have fun. Enjoy the history of the area! You can download the Wherigo cartridge at the Related Web Page link above.
